Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 > Really??? All tea?? Even herbal? I drink herbal tea constantly! > Do you make it with water that's gone through a reverse osmosis filter? (Unless you are lucky enough to live in a place that doesn't fluorridate their water - like Europe..) You're probably getting more from the tapwater than from the tea.. How much money could I make if I could make a tea plant (or set of tea plants) that could grow in non-fluoridic soils, or better yet, NOT take up whatever fluoride is in the soil anyway? Of course, this might involve a bit of genetic engineering (unless the fluoride is not ESSENTIAL - in which case some hypothetical tea plant could live without it and a hundred or so crosses might do it), so it wouldn't pass muster with the " no-GM " bunch. No matter how carefully I documented the tea plant pathways and what parts of them I cut out. Not that I know near enough to do any of this (well, traditional play crossing, yes - but that would take far too much time.) Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand corrected.. Time to move to Europe I guess (although RO would be cheaper, which I am seriously thinking of getting - at least a small unit to keep 2 gallons on hand at all times.)

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 I don't think anyone really answered you question, but went off on all the flouride in TEA. Herbal " teas " are not really tea, as far as I know. They are made from herbs, not tea. You are just drinking brewed herbs. You have to read the labels carefully and make sure there is no TEA in it. For example, I often drink chamomile " tea. " There is no " tea " in it, just chamomile leaves. So there should not be any flouride in it, either. But there are many kinds of teas, so again, be careful you are just drinking herbs. HTH, Kathleen > > > > I would not touch green tea. It s full of fluoride.
