Objective: The association of coffee and tea consumption with osteoporosis is highly controversial, and few studies have focused on the combined effects of the two beverages. This study aimed to investigate the independent and combined associations of coffee and tea consumption with osteoporosis risk.
Methods: A prospective cohort study involving 487,594 participants aged 38-73 years from the UK Biobank was conducted. Participants with reported coffee and tea consumption and without osteoporosis at baseline were included. Coffee and tea consumption were assessed via a touch-screen questionnaire at baseline. Newly diagnosed osteoporosis during the follow-up period, defined based on ICD-10 codes (M80-M82), was the primary outcome. Cox regression analyses were utilized to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs). Dose-effect associations were assessed using restricted cubic spline analysis.
Results: During a median follow-up of 12.8 years, 15,211 cases of osteoporosis were identified. Compared to individuals without coffee or tea consumption, drinking coffee was associated with an HR of 0.93 (95 % CI: 0.89-0.96), and tea consumption with an HR of 0.86 (95 % CI: 0.83-0.90). Continuous trends were significant for both coffee and tea consumption, showing non-linear associations with osteoporosis incidence. Moderate consumption, such as 1-2 cups of coffee or 3-4 cups of tea per day, was associated with a lower incidence of osteoporosis, with HRs of 0.9 (95 % CI: 0.86-0.94) and 0.85 (95 % CI: 0.81-0.90), respectively. Additionally, combined coffee and tea consumption displayed a U-shaped association with osteoporosis risk, with the lowest risk observed in individuals who consumed 1-2 cups of both beverages daily, with an HR of 0.68 (95 % CI: 0.61-0.75).
Conclusion: Our findings highlight the potential benefits of moderate coffee and tea consumption in reducing the risk of osteoporosis.

Soil may contain certain concentrations of the natural radionuclide K as well as the artificial radionuclide Cs, which can accumulate in the edible parts of plants. This can lead to an exceedance of the ingestion dose. In this study, measurements of K and Cs were conducted for 144 food samples (including fruit, tea, cereals, beans, salt, and sugar) using gamma spectrometry.

Bacterial infections have become a major challenge to global public health security. In this study, based on the concept of green synthesis, three cerium dioxide (CeO)-calcium oxide (CaO) composites (CS-CeO@CaO, CT-CeO@CaO, and CTD-CeO@CaO) were developed using chemical hydrothermal (CS), chrysanthemum tea impregnation (CT), and residue impregnation (CTD). Eggshell-derived calcium oxide was used as the carrier, in combination with the functional components of chrysanthemum tea and its residue extract.

Introduction: Pharmacological studies in vitro demonstrate the preventive and therapeutic potential of green tea and its constituent epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) in the fight against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Previously reported correlations between per capita green tea consumption and COVID-19 morbidity/mortality suggest similar effects in vivo. Considering that some recent SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) sub-variants are less influenced by EGCG, this study aimed to determine whether this affects the aforementioned correlations, focusing on comparisons between the periods before (2021) and after (2022-2024) the emergence of the Omicron variant.

Ceramic restorations have become a cornerstone of modern dentistry. Color stability is crucial for dental ceramics to maintain the esthetic appearance of restorations over time. Given the widespread consumption of staining agents like coffee, tea, and cola, this study aimed to assess the color stability of three ceramics after thermocycling in different solutions.

: Identifying dietary factors influencing liver cancer is crucial for developing preventive measures. While tea polyphenols have demonstrated cancer-preventive activities in animal models, the evidence in humans is not definitive. This study aims to explore the association between tea consumption and liver cancer, as well as the interaction between tea drinking and other risk factors, in China, a country with a high incidence of liver cancer and substantial tea consumption.
