Just kidding. I get a little crazy when someone talks smack about the bean.

Once you go hot, black and bitter you'll never be a quitter.

Been addicted to coffee since I was 9.

Hey, the bus stops in Chicago are freakin cold in the winter...well, they used to be anyway.

As the saying around here goes..

"Don't be an alcoholic, son. Just be a drunk. Alcoholics have to attend meetings."

Personally I hate the taste of all tea, thou I take the green tea powder/caps for the health benefits.

Classic.

I was a fornicator and I quit fornication.
I was an adulterer and I quit adultery.
I was a gambler and I quit gambling.
I was a lier and I quit lying.
I was a thief and I quit stealing.
I was a smoker and I quit smoking.
I was a drinker and I quit drinking.
Now they call me a quitter.

LOL, no worries. Everything we ingest has good and bad qualities. Caffeine causes benign breast lumps which can be mistaken for breast cancer.....but it also lowers the chance of getting Parkinson's disease. On balance, I think a couple cups of coffee a day is a positive addition to the diet.

Sorry for chiming in late, but here's some more info on the green tea, fluorine, and thyroid connection:

Whoa. That article is even freakier..yet better researched than the ones I have seen.

One thing I can't seem to find any info on is the Flouride content of green tea extracts. Might have to do some testing and find out.

[shaddow]

I guess that marks my first real (kind of) contribution to this site. LOL. A couple questions though..

I've been drinking as much as 8 cups of green tea daily for the past several months, though some days I don't drink any. Should I quit? Cut back? Should I begin taking iodine? Continue drinking it with iodine?

And does this mean that I should also be careful with egcg powder, or is it solely tea that I should be concerned with?

[bioman]

I'm wondering about the ECGC powders myself. I probably should get a batch tested as it's one of those things I did want to use for life.

I would maybe cut back but that's just me. I did actually show low thyroid numbers after being on a GT supp for many months so I tend to believe the flouride claims.

I do use iodine everyday and have felt markedly better since starting it. My last thyroid test had high normal range free T4. IMO, everyone should supplement with at least a few mg per day.
