Does coffee, tea, milk, OJ increase or decrease iron absorption??


Answers: I think the answer is yes acc. to this website:

See Table 1: Intraluminal Factors Affecting Iron Absorption about halfway down the page:

Also see this snipped text from a medical article:
One cup of coffee significantly decreases the absorption of one dose of iron. This effect is proportional to the coffee concentration in the solution.

increase.
The standard medical advice is to take iron with orange juice to increase absorption. Vit C increases Fe absorption usually is why they say that.
