Research Roundup
The Impact of Coffee on Iron Absorption
AI Key Takeaways
- A cup of coffee reduced iron absorption from a hamburger meal by 39 percent as opposed to a 64 percent decrease with tea.
- The stronger the coffee, the more iron absorption was impeded.

- Waiting an hour after a meal to drink coffee didn't help with iron absorption.
- Adding orange juice or any source of vitamin C rich food can reverse the effect of tea or coffee on iron absorption.
- The blockage of iron absorption from coffee may be a good thing for many, as higher iron stores are associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes.
- Iron is essential for blood production but can also act as a potent pro-oxidant.
- The reduced risk of type 2 diabetes associated with coffee consumption may be due to the inhibition of iron absorption by coffee.
- It is important to ensure adequate iron intake without building up excessive iron stores in the body.
