Vit. Absorption ..what we drink is important.
What we drink with our meals is important.
Caffeinated drinks, such as tea, coffee and fizzy drinks have a negative affect on absorption, drinking caffeine with a meal or soon after a meal
can affect the absorption of calcium and zinc. Any drink with caffeine
is best drunk at least one hour before or after.
Alcohol is another drink to stay clear of at mealtimes. It destroys Vit. B6 by separating it from its protective binding and directly intervenes with B12 absorption into the intestines.
Some good news: Wine is the exception (maybe we should make like the french)?
Kind Regards,
Jean
