Did you know coffee and tea can interfer with the absorption of iron?
Coffee and tea contain substances called polyphenols which can reduce the amount of iron absorbed by up to 90%.
It is important to note that the more polyphenols consumed the lower the absorption of iron.

So what is the significance of this interaction?
If you are healthy and have no health issues, the impact of reduced iron absorption may not be significant on your health.
In people with anaemia ( low iron in blood) coffee and caffeine can make the condition worse.

Conclusion
If you are anaemic avoid drinking large amounts of coffee or tea together with your meals.
If you have severe anaemia it is advisable to limit your consumption of coffee and tea until iron levels in your blood increase.
