Reply to comment by dustvecx in Study shows that regular coffee drinking (2 to 3 cups per day) is associated with lower systolic blood pressure (SBP), peripheral pulse pressure (PP), aortic BP and aortic PP, but with similar arterial stiffness by giuliomagnifico

That's the thing, one can get all the calcium you think you need, the problem is the kidney doesn't process it as well as it normally would, means a larger percent of that calcium you got through drinking your milk ends up exiting when you take a piss....

Less calcium processed = bigger risk of bone density problems aka osteoporosis.

That's what I took away from the article I linked to anyway.

You are exaggrating the effect. Yes drinking excess coffee (over 8 cups a day or 4000mg caffeine) is an osteoporosis risk factor but it's a minor one that you can negate by consuming enough calcium.

Main reason osteoporosis occurs is due to people not getting enough calcium and vit d. Other than that, it's not important to majority of the population. It's not like steroids where there is major risk factor for osteoporosis or long use of heparin and anticonvulsants

If I remember correctly, osteoporosis is barely linked to dietary calcium, and more linked to things like exercise, protein intake, and hormones.
