1. False - Research has not shown that coffee
causes osteoporosis in women who have an intake of 800 mgs. or
more of calcium per day. However, research does

intake is 400 mgs. or less per day, but is attributed to the
lack of adequate calcium intake rather than coffee consumption.

Where do you get your nutrition
information? Most states now have licensure laws for Dietitians
and Nutritionists. Be sure your nutrition advisor is "Licensed"
by the State as a Licensed Dietitian (LD) or Licensed Nutritionist
(LN), or in states that don't have licensure laws, a Registered
Dietitian.
