Tea, Coffee And Minerals
Drinking tea and coffee interferes with the body's ability to absorb a whole range of minerals.Calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, manganese, selenium, chromium and iodine are just some of the minerals that are affected. These are all minerals that are vital to health, and studies show that many people have marginal intake of some of these, such as iron and zinc. So, if you're concerned about your mineral levels, cut back on tea and coffee, or at least drink it away from meals. And remember, if you're taking supplements containing minerals, don't wash them down with a cup of tea or coffee!

Money
“Too many people spend money they haven’t earned to buy things they don’t want, to impress people they don’t like.” 
Will Rogers
