And just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water. *Sigh.* One more thing to add to the bulk food list... Maybe. No more tea bags for me. Bigelow and Celestial Seasonings peppermint are my favorite since I stopped growing my own.

I've felt worse for the last several years whenever I drink black or green tea, whether or not it has caffeine. I just finally learned that teas (non-organic at least) contain a lot of flouride. Also green tea contain catechins that can interfere with thyroid function. So it finally makes sense to me.

So it seems that both black and green tea have the flouride and catechin problems. Black tea has much more floouride and fewer catechins, while green tea has less flouride and more catechins. I guess I wouldn't think too much of this if I hadn't felt so much worse after drinking tea in recent years and have been looking for the reason(s) why.
