Milk Coffee – A Pleasant Habit or Health Risk? What Do Experts Say?

Millions of people around the world start their mornings with a fragrant latte or smooth cappuccino. However, most don’t stop to ask whether this habitual drink is beneficial or harmful to their health. Let’s explore the issue more deeply.

Calcium and Coffee: Do They Go Together?

The tannins found in coffee may affect the body’s ability to absorb calcium — an essential mineral. That means when drinking milk coffee, calcium might not be fully absorbed by the body.

But this doesn’t mean that coffee completely "destroys" calcium. In fact, calcium is not only in milk. Hard cheeses, sardines, beans, and leafy greens are also rich sources of calcium. If your daily diet is diverse and balanced, any calcium loss from milk coffee can be easily compensated.

As with everything — moderation is key

A healthy body can absorb enough calcium. If coffee is consumed in moderation, there is no need to give it up. Drinking 3–4 cups of milk coffee per day will not harm the body.

Who should be careful?

If you have calcium deficiency, digestive issues, or are pregnant — it’s best to consult your doctor before regularly consuming milk coffee.

Can milk coffee become a healthy habit?

Absolutely! Just follow these simple tips:

• Don’t add sugar. It’s just empty calories. Try stevia, erythritol, or enjoy the natural taste of coffee.
  
• Drink coffee in the morning or early in the day. It helps avoid insomnia and boosts energy.
  
• Choose quality milk. Organic or medium-fat milk is best.
  
• Drink it after meals. This reduces its impact and eases digestion.
  
• Alternate with other beverages. Water, herbal teas, and fruit infusions should also be part of your routine.
  

Milk coffee is not harmful. If you follow a healthy lifestyle and eat well, this favorite drink can easily be part of your life.
