Altho, if you're prone to forming kidney stones, even decaf may not be good, bcuz brown liquids contain oxalates (as do several other foods), which contribute to kidney stones. Higher risk with calcium carbonate, of course, but even with calcium citrate, there's some risk. Also, caffeine taken at least 2 hours away from iron consumption is apparently okay, but I've seen several articles that just plain forbid caffeine altogether if you're facing a problem with your bones. Reduces absorption of calcium in general. Carol A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
