I love my coffee in the morning, however my shiatsu practitioner friend says that caffeine taken the same time as fruit/vitamins/vegetable/protein actually blocks any of this goodness being digested by the body. Most people I've asked since disagree with this, does anyone know where I can get a definite answer! One love and thanks
I think caffeine can inhibit absorption of iron? Amongst other reasons, this is why it is not reccommended that pregnant women and children drink caffeinated drinks, particularly with food.
I wouldn't think that one coffee a day is going to cause all that much damage if you have a generally healthy lifestyle and diet anyway, if the number of coffees you have a day out numbers the number of fruit / veg portions you have then I would think about cutting down.
