Milk and tea can decrease the iron absorption

Hi All,

I need some advice about the above mentioned, i read it some where that it helps to reduce the iron absorption in the body. I dont know whether this help to decrease the iron overload in the body or not. Any comments are utmost welcome and appreciated. Thanx.

"The consumption of large quantities of tea, which contains tannates, can decrease iron absorption."
