drink Tea 78% higher 'risk for rheumatoid arthritis'

Man, I hate studies like this - especially when they seem to apply to me.

I drink a LOT of tea, and felt that it was better (at least for my stomach) than coffee, which i used to drink by the gallon, as well.

And damned if I don't have the beginnings of what seems to be arthritis, mainly in my left hand.

I don't normally give one study much credence, but 78% more likely?

That's a big percentage... :shock:

Well whether its good for you or not, especially tea, we drink a lot of it in the UK, stronger tasting tea can contain over 700 chemicals.
Armies would/do consume vast quantities and its a good thing they did as this encouraged the boiling up of the local water supplies which may have been of dubious quality.

I would image it is the fluoride also or there would be an epidemic of Asian arthritis.

The fluoride in tea is completely NATURAL,calcium fluoride,like i have said the calcium cancels out any detrimental effects the fluoride might have,which i doubt is of any significance.The stuff added to tap water,well that's a different story. :help:

@cornbread,you may wanna seek out some organic tea mate.If you've been drinking tea for a long time you should be able to notice how much better it tatses probably because it is minus all those nasty pesticides etc.

I really don't think much of these studies. It seems there's a study that goes against another study. If they really want to study how tea impacts people, then they just have to go to Japan or China.

People born in different lands have different frequencies. It is more healthy for people to eat and drink that which originated on the land they were born and live. All had good purpose and reason for being.

Man, I am not smashed enough to deal with you, don't use your mystic, new age bs to justify your stereotyping and racism, you are such an obvious troll that the word obvious is an understatement!
