Small Bites

with Andy Bellatti

Q: Is it true that coffee causes osteoporosis?

A: Before I answer, allow me to get something off my chest.
Statements like "[insert name of food here] causes [insert disease/condition here]" are tremendously inaccurate.
If someone ever tells you that a food causes a particular disease, promise me your "BS" alarms will go off.
Unless you are talking about contamination issues, food as a whole does not cause disease.
Rather, it is particular components in certain foods that, when consumed often over long periods of time, can elevate one's risk of developing a certain condition.
