Guest guest Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I always thought green tea was very good for us, too. It has antioxidants, I think, or something else that's better for us than black tea. It's supposed to be a healthy alternative to coffee, because it still has some caffeine, but less than coffee. I suppose the caffeine does act as a diuretic. I know if I drink a few glasses of iced tea, I do pee more frequently, than if it were plain water.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Hi Jeanne, It does have antioxidants in it that are good for you. I drink it everyday and love it. I also drink some coffee just about every day. So I do drink caffeine and it doesn't seem to have any affect on my fibro at all. I don't drink a lot, but maybe 2 cups during the day. I love my coffee too. And yes I do go to the bathroom a lot. I have to make sure I quit drinkig much of anything pretty early in the evening so I won't have to get up in the night.
