She said I should be getting bone density tests. I dont beleive this other wise everybody wouldnt drink so much coffee. Is this true?

Yes, caffeine in coffee does leach calcium from your bones. It is important to take supplements and eat a balanced diet to counteract this effect. Also, it does not look like you are overdoing your coffee consumption, so it is probably not as bad as your relatives are making it out to be.

Drinking coffee is OK if you don`t drink gallons of it, But it won`t soften your bones.
Women need a lot of calcium in the body due to milk & bone production during pregnacy etc and there fore women should take calcium tablets to help their bodies keep the bones strong and get bone density tests done as they get older to detect osteoporosis but this has no thing to do with coffee

Maybe your retarded family member is a bone head.
No, coffee does not pull calcium from your bones. But it is always a good idea to take calcium supplements or consume plenty of dairy anyhow for strong bones and teeth.
Long live coffee!

Caffeine intereferes with the absorbtion of calcium into your bones, you get less. Use milk in your coffee or just increase your calcium intake and you'll be good to go. It doesn't "eat away at your bones" or take any out, it just reduces the amount you absorb.

Yes, too much caffeine will gradually reduce your bone density. Limit the caffeine or take calcium supplements.
