According to background information in the article, after water, tea is the most common drink consumed regularly by most adults in the world. The authors suggest any effect that tea would have on bones would therefore be a major public health concern. "Tea extracts also contain high concentrations of caffeine, fluoride, flavonoids and phytoestrogen.
