Guest guest Posted October 20, 2002 Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 You're right Bill!.. Chai (we write it Cay= c with a colon under it . ) Chay is also Tea in Turkish, Arabic, Farsi, Chinese that i know of and i think it all started with the chinese if im not mistaken. I actually like the idea of Chai meaning life beacuse i think it is in the life of (no kidding) about ninety percent of Turkish people.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2002 Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 Turkish cay. Yes, I thought that was one of the better drinks in Turkey. Plus, the way it was made and served was very elaborate, almost ceremonial. Tiny cups and very sweet. Thai chai adds cream and is very good. Also sweet. Does anyone know why green tea and blood thinners don't mix? Mike > You're right Bill!..

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2002 Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 Mike... I do believe it's the extremely high amount of vitamin " K " in green tea... I'm attempting to include a link where you can get more info... http://www.coumadin.com/consumer/INT_VitaminK1.asp#beverage JES in NJ > > Does anyone know why green tea and blood thinners don't mix? > > Mike > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 21, 2002 Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 Yess, that's why. I forgot to go back and answer that the other day didn't I? Sorry. Along with Green tea, those on coumadin/warfarin should monitor the amount of avocado, watercress, brussel sprouts, cabbage, cucumber skin, and many other foods in their diets. It is not necessary to avoid these foods altogether, but it is important to eat them consistently and get your blood checked often if you don't. When I first started taking coumadin in 1998, they had a heck of a time getting a stable level in my system. When I read about the effects of diet and started watching just a little, it stablized and has been the same for over a year.
