Coffee, like tea, also contains tannin which inhibits iron absorption in the gut. However, this does not mean that it chelates iron already in your body. You cannot replace your chelator with tea or coffee. These can help reduce the iron you absorb from food but will not reduce the great iron load that builds from transfusions.

For more information on a diet to minimize iron intake see

Recommendations for patients trying to cut down on iron absorption:

    * limit red meat consumption to three or fewer portions per week: meat contains the most easily absorbable form of iron: heme iron but red meat is also an excellent source of protein, B12, and zinc. Eliminating red meat from the diet entirely is not necessary providing a patient is compliant with therapy and routinely seeing a physician who is monitoring iron levels.

    * drink tea or coffee with a meal-unless there is evidence of liver damage or disease. Tea and coffee tannin which inhibits iron absorption

    * limit alcohol consumption or abstain altogether if there is liver damage: alcohol enhances the absorption of iron. For those without liver damage moderate consumption of alcohol is allowed.

    * avoid consumption of vitamin C supplements with the meal: vitamin C enhances the absorption of iron. Limit doses of supplemental vitamin C to 200 milligrams if possible. Vitamin C should not be eliminated from the diet.

    * eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables regardless of the vitamin C content: fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants which protect a person from free radical damage. Iron is a know trigger of free radical activity.

YES ANDY , UR RIGHT WE CANT REPLACE ANY TEA COFFE OR ANY KIND OF JUCIE TO OUR IRON CHELATOR ,
