Re: RESEARCH - Consumption of large amounts of tea linked to RA

[Guest guest]

WOW!!! I've been drinking a lot of tea to relax and try to sleep lately and I'm

so swollen my sister saw me yesterday and was concerned-thought I'd been in an

accident.

I'll be laying off tea for a while!

Well that's interesting as I don't drink tea - or coffee for that matter either!

At this point I'd believe it. Of course, those who have Rheumatoid have also

consumed carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, and probably had way too much pasta in the

past. Therefore those will eventually be suspected as a root cause, too.

Seriously I have never drunk much tea and I'm not a coffee lover. I think they

are grasping at straws. I do drink tea now as I'm sick sick sick of drinking

plain or lemon water. Who knows? I may take up drinking coffee. Years ago eggs

were bad for you and that whole circle came around to a couple of eggs per week

is good for you. The researchers just don't have a clue.

Right now I eat and drink what I want and when I want it. I'm doing this and

losing weight because all my meds make me queasy so I don't eat much at one

time. It's probably better for me to eat " hobbit style " , as in 2nd breakfast,

3rd lunches and 3rd suppers.

seems that could be a problem for our British sisters across the pond! I put

away rather a lot of tea myself, but some of it's peppermint, etc. rather than

" tea " per se.

I am confused about this. Are there many Asians with RA? They drink a LOT of

tea!
