Swiss water decaf contains anywhere from 8 to 30 mg of caffeine per cup, one

green tea bag contains about 8 to 30 mg of caffeine, and one cup of Yerba

Mate tea contains about 30 mg of caffeine. Given that we can have Swiss

water decaf, and the fact that caffeine from coffee is not water soluble

like that of tea and therefore stays in your system much longer, I don't

understand why we can't have green tea or Yerba Mate tea. Can you explain

Bee?

a, thanks for the details on how much caffeine decaf coffee

and Yerba Mate contain. Most candida sufferers shouldn't have either

one, at least in the beginning, and particularly if they are having

difficulties.

I would ask that all of you think about things too, and help yourself

and me out. Please don't just leave such decisions up to me only.

You should learn enough so you " know " and understand what you can

have and what you can't. Hopefully, in the end, you are able

to " think with " the information and make proper decisions for

yourself. That's why I provide so much information.
