Tea with breakfast?

Save this if you're low on iron, pregnant, or eat mostly plants. Tea and coffee at the same meal cut how much plant iron you absorb. The compounds that make tea taste a little dry (tannins) bind to the iron in your gut so less of it gets in. What it affects: iron from plants, grains, beans and fortified cereal. Iron from meat is barely touched. The timing that helped: in one small test, tea an hour after the meal cut the effect roughly in half. It didn't remove it. (And for coffee, an hour after didn't help at all. An hour *before* the meal did.) What else helps: a little vitamin C with the meal. Berries on the oatmeal, a glass of orange juice, peppers in the beans. Who this is really for: women who are low on iron, pregnant, or mostly plant-based. If your iron is healthy, there's no reason to give up your morning cup. Worried about your iron? Ask your doctor for a blood test before you start supplements.
