Where else do we find the nutrients found in coffee?

There are lots of good nutrition in coffee- polyphenols, magnesium, anti-oxodants, helps fight Diabetes and Alzheimers.

There is a minimal effect on calcium absorption that can be offset by adding milk to your coffee.

If you don’t like the taste of coffee, don’t drink it.

@zenvelo The caffeine cancels out the calcium in the milk. And you’re off topic.

I’m still not sure what the hell you’re asking. Your details appear to have nothing to do with the question.

Do you want to know alternative sources for the chemical benefits of coffee, or do you want to discuss whether coffee’s risks outweigh its benefits?

If the latter, I suggest moving this to Social, because that kind of a discussion doesn’t lend itself to the General section.

How can I be off topic when I answered the bizarre original question asked which made no sense? And you are incorrect about caffeine negating the milk; the milk negates the deleterious yet minimal effect of the caffeine.

The obvious answer is a vitamin D tablet, but there are a lot of foods that you can eat too that contain vitamin D.

Natural foods high in vitamin D include fish oils, fatty fish, mushrooms, beef liver, cheese, and egg yolks. Vitamin D is also naturally made by your body when you expose your skin to the sun, and is called the sun-shine vitamin.

I think the main fear when it comes to caffeine and pregnancy is that it MAY effect the developing baby, the same way alcohol has an effect.

One source I found says

NSW Health recommends that you should have no more than 200mg of caffeine per day when you are pregnant. This is about what you’d get in one cup of brewed or espresso coffee, two mugs of instant coffee (100mg each), four cups of tea, or five cans of cola. Of course, you don’t need the sugar in cola or sweetened tea or coffee, so there may be other reasons why you choose to cut down your caffeinated drinks. Water or unsweetened fruit and vegetable juices are a better choice for your health and for your baby.

@zenvelo Your first statement is off topic The OP is not what’s in coffee that may be good for you.
It’s where else can we find for example, magnesium ” A cup of coffee contains about 7 mg, which is a drop in the daily-requirement bucket (420 mg for men, 320 mg for women).”

@Fathdris Good answer, except for the “May” part.

If it causes so much problems in adults (weakens the bones, addiction, just to name 2 of many) then for pregnant women…it is a no brainer.

Whatever source is not saying to stay away from coffee if you’re pregnant, is no good source.

“Water or unsweetened fruit and vegetable juices are the better choice for your health and for your baby.” doesn’t go with “No more than 200 mg per day,” even if they don’t mean every single day of the pregnancy.

The dose makes the poison.

Applesauce has trace amounts of arsenic. That doesn’t mean no one should ever consume applesauce. Likewise, consuming too much salt could be deadly. But never consuming any salt would also be deadly.
