We spoke with a pair of cousins, one an Army veteran, the other a current member of the Navy, about some of the toughest situations they've found themselves in. Army basic training, according to Mates, is all about discipline. It's about knowing your role and not stepping out of line. And if you do, well, you pay a price. Mates said, In basic training, they call it 'getting smoked.' Push-Ups until you puke. I was always getting smoked.
Caffine is the most popular and probably the most studied of all drugs, and serious adverse effects in real life have resisted demonstration. There are pop claims about caffeine interfering with absorption of iron and vitamin d; if there were any real effect on real human beings, it would be obvious by now.
There is little research on caffeine and bariatric surgery. But as you read on, you may wish to rethink that cup of mojo. Remember, our recommendation is no more than eight oz. coffee/tea per day. After gastric bypass, you donât absorb all of your nutrients. Caffeine may further decrease calcium absorption, which in turn may lead to osteoporosis and increased risk for fractures. Therefore calcium should not be taken with caffeine. Caffeine may also decrease iron absorption.
