Thank you all who contributed!

I googled coffee+phytoestrogen and I did see information that says coffee is a phytoestrogen. I did not research it to see how strong it is or which receptors it binds to.

I was wondering if caffeine in coffee can contribute to dehydration and maybe that was the issue. I try to drink a lot of water during the day.

I was wondering the same, what's wrong with coffee?
For sure, Caffeine dehydrates, but that shouldn't be a big issue if drinking enough water
Also, Calcium binding might be a undesirable thing, especially as these "treatments" have a risk of losing calcium with its consequences. Again, shouldn't be a very strong factor. I haven't seen any research substantiating how large the effect is.

Anybody with more research information?
