too much tea can increase the risk of skeletal fluorosis.

before your reading :drinking too much of tea can be called theaism or tea addiction. The mother-in-low of my aunt   got tea addiction and the modern medical system can't figure out what's wrong.At last a Chinese traditional doctor  straightened out her trouble.and let's begin.

What is Skeletal Fluorosis?
            
           Skeletal fluorosis is a condition where excess fluoride is deposited in bones and joint. This condition may be asymptomatic at first, but as it progresses, it can lead to joint pain, stiffness, bone pain, and muscle weakness. In its most advanced stage, it causes deformities of the spine and wasting of the muscles. Too much fluoride from water, tea, or through other exposures can cause discoloration of the teeth in children – with visible brown and white spots.
            Most cases of skeletal flourosis come from occupational exposure to fluoride, although fluoride can also come from drinking water or tea, especially a type of tea called brick tea, which is popular in China. Fluoride is also found in some pesticides.

Excessive Tea Drinking: Can Fluoride in Tea Cause Skeletal Fluorosis?

          Doctors at Medical College of Georgia have identified four cases of skeletal fluorosis in patients who drank large amounts of tea. These patients reportedly consumed up to two gallons of tea every day for several decades. There have been other cases of skeletal fluorosis, although they have occurred almost exclusively in people who drank very large amounts of tea (several liters) over many years. Based upon these reports, doctors looked more closely at the fluoride content of black tea. Most previous studies show that a liter of black tea contains between one and five milligrams of fluoride. Upon closer investigation, the doctors found that some teas contain up to nine milligrams in a single liter – more than double what was expected.

Fluoride in Tea: How Does It Get There?
     The fluoride in tea comes from the soil and water the tea plant, Camelia sinensis, needs to grow. The tea plant very easily takes up and accumulates fluoride from the soil. In addition, water is fluorinated, so a cup of tea may contain a fair amount of fluoride.

Fluoride in Tea: Should You Drink It?

         Keep in mind that all of the documented cases of skeletal fluorosis have occurred with excessive tea drinking involving more than a liter a day – for at least a decade. Most people don’t drink this much tea and are probably not in danger of skeletal fluorosis. On the other hand, it’s best to limit tea consumption by children because the risk of tooth mottling. What about adults? Most people can safely drink up to five cups of tea a day – so moderation is key. One word of caution. Avoid drinking instant tea since it may be higher in fluoride than tea brewed fresh from tea leaves. Brew your own tea at home and drink it in moderation to reap the antioxidant benefits.

why me drink green tea

     

   Honestly, I don't like sodas. Firstly, sodas are full of sugar and it is too sweet. It's like diabetes in a can. Secondly, I don't enjoy cold drinks. I rather drink iced tea (unsweetened iced tea.. reminds me of subway) instead of sodas. Thirdly, I am not a big fan of carbonated drinks. Lastly, it doesn't have any health benefits! So if you're trying to drop some weight and if you're watching your calories I think you should stop drinking that calorie loaded soda.
        You can have a refreshing glass of water or an unsweetened iced tea.. or you can just have a soothing cup of green tea. (after or before meals) If you don't like it's taste you may want to try adding some honey or some milk.
       Anyway, I think this is one of the health and beauty secrets of the Japanese and the Chinese (most of the Asians) of staying healthy, fit and young looking.

Some health benefits of drinking green tea:

Image via Wikipedia

        Green tea can help to stop the spread of calls that causes cancer. Maybe that's the answer why do Japan has a low rate of cancer?
        Green tea can help you loss weight (without the milk) because there are no calories on it. Obviously, you need to combine it with a proper diet and exercise.
       Green tea can help prevent diabetes and it can also reduce the risks of cataracts.
       The antioxidants in tea can help prevent arthritis. Antioxidants block the enzymes that attack and destroy bones. They can also make the condition less painful.

            Studies show that green tea has some anti aging properties.No wonder why do Japan has the longest life expectancies in the world. 
           Green tea has less caffeine. A great substitute to coffee.
           Actually, there a lot of health benefits  in drinking green tea. So I hope that somehow I convinced you to stay away from unhealthy drinks such as sodas and sugar loaded drinks. Enjoy tea time~ 

film about tea and ghost

On a quiet afternoon an elderly woman prepares some afternoon tea for her and

her husband. This short film was made on a single super-8 cartridge, edited in

camera, shot in sequence with only one take per shot.

• 
  
  Great, great video, creepy and unsettling without ever really having a jump moment. And the actress deserves serious credit too: her facial expressions carry the whole story without ever saying a single word.
• 
  
  This is very creepy! Even though I could totally tell what was going to happen from the very beginning! Still very creepy, the music did a lot for it too, great song choice. I actually have this song on a night time piano music CD, now I can't listen to it without thinking about this!

Boost yourself by tea

             As I sip my wonderful cup of strawberry lemonade tea (yum!), I am happy to announce that inhaling the aroma of your tea bags will make you happy. Now, I am a spiritual aromatherapist, so Iknow how powerful scent can be, but hadn't really thought about tea bags. And it only takes seconds to start working! Grab a jasmine tea bag you haven't yet used, or lemon,  or peppermint, and in about ten seconds, you will be feeling happier, according to Woman's Worldmagazine. It will also increase your energy.

drink Chamomile tea to release anxiety

Guess what’s good for anxiety? Chamomile tea, according to the latest issue of Woman’s World. A new study demonstrated that using chamomile every day helps people release negativity, which relieves mild or moderate levels of anxiety.
            "Chamomile stimulates activity in the brain that reduces anxiety."~~Tanya Edwards, M.D., from the Center for Integrative Medicine in Cleveland. 
             They recommend drinking 2 cups of chamomile tea a day (you can also use chamomile essential oil, putting several drops on the bottom of your feet a few times a day).

the difference between Japanese AND Chinese Green Teas

the main difference are in Processing and Varieties

Processing:
         Stopping oxidation, the key step in producing a fine green tea, is done differently. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages.Chinese — mainly roasting (with some exceptions), a method that imparts a nice smell and enables makers to shape the teas; also oven dried and sometimes steamed. Often, methods are combined. Examples: Houkui (wholly ovened); Biluochun (roasted then ovened); Zhuyeqing (all three methods).Japanese — mostly steaming, making the tea greener and thus more attractive but grassy tasting; also some pan-roasting.

Varieties:
         Without a doubt, there are far more varieties of Chinese green teas than Japanese. They come in about nine shapes, including rolled into tight balls (Gunpowder) and looser balls (Dragon Pearls), or gently curled to then uncurl in your cup or teapot while steeping (White Monkey Paw). Some have Jasmine added, while others have flowers and fruits in them.Chinese Dragon Pearls Teas vary by the location where they’re grown. China grows tea in 15 provinces and so is more geographically diverse than Japan, with the taste varying accordingly. Chinese teas are also more likely to be hand-processed instead of made in a factory. The top Chinese green tea is Dragonwell, so popular that fake Dragonwell has entered the market (made from teas not grown in the Dragonwell area of China).Japanese teas come mainly in two types: needle-shaped pieces (Gyokuro and Sencha) and powder (Matcha). Some of these teas can taste fishy, especially if not properly processed. Not an issue if you like sushi. Some (pan-roasted) can taste nutty and go well with stir-fried foods. Sencha mixed with roasted rice is one of the most popular teas in Japan (Genmaicha), with good reason. It’s toasty tasting yet smooth and slightly sweet. Houjicha is a roasted green tea that is nutty in flavor with a brown liquid.

What kind of black or green tea to use when making pearl milk tea?

Hi, thanks for taking the time. I'd just like to know what brands of black tea or jasmine green tea is strong enough because i use Lipton and it's no where near strong enough. Does the black tea need to be made with tea leaves or something similar? Oh and this is a secondary question that I'm just curious about; how do the pearl milk tea shops make such strong tea in such a big quantity? That must cost a lot of money. Thanks once again.


don't use lipton, because it's a weak tea. one teaspoon of tea inside a teabag isn't gonna do it if you want a strong tea.

if you want strong tea, you need to buy loose black tea, preferably assam (english breakfast), or a assam/ceylon mix (british afternoon tea). you can buy black tea in an asian supermarket too. they also have lots of green tea like jasmine, and oolong. for green, i would get a simple green, not jasmine unless you want it. for a roasted flavor, i would get ti kuan yin which is a darker roast of oolong.

if you don't have an asian supermarket near you, look for an indian supermarket. indian supermarkets should have one of the ctc teas like brooke bond red label, or lipton yellow label. ctc ("crush tear curl") teas are dirt cheap, but delivery 5x the flavor, it's like the crack of the tea world, it's the tea that chai masala is made from.

the last case scenario is to look at your gourmet market, or at least whole foods market. and look for yorkshire tea, it will be expensive, but the tea bags are large and make a very strong and tasty tea.


as for tea shops makign tea. tea leaves can be cheap depending on the grade they use. 1st grade tea (for drinking tea, not bubble tea) can cost upwards of hundreds of dollars a pound, but bubble tea places usually buy the cheap stuff, or blends to smoothen out the flavor. they don't use tea bags.










If Lipton is too weak, forget about green tea. It's not as oxidized as the black. Try some jasmine black or some rose. Hell, try any tea you can drink. It's okay to make your tea a bit stronger if it's not flavorful enough. By pearl milk do you mean the Bubble tea phenom using pearl tapioca? If so, change the tea to milk ratio.

how ot use tea tree oil should i use to get rid of a keloid?

I'm looking for tea tree oil to get rid of the keloid on my nose, but there are so many different kinds of tea tree oil i don't know which one i should use? There are kinds like Herbal Harvest tea tree oil, Gena Tea tree oil, Radiance tea tree oil. Ect.

Go out and buy some real tea tree oil. I don't know what kinds of brands of tea tree oil you are talking about, but whatever kind it is, make sure that it is real and 100% natural, and not like that fake and diluted stuff people buy from some drug stores. You're only criteria for buying tea tree oil should be that it's the 100% natural kind. A lot of the stuff at the drug stores that are supposedly real oils and things are fake and diluted. The bottle may say tea tree oil, but when you read the ingredients on it tea tree oil will be way down on the ingredient list and it will mostly be soybean oil or mineral oil mixed with different cheap oils and only contain the oil. These don't work as well as the real oils. It will also be loaded with fragrance. Some companies do this because it is cheaper and easier to produce more.
It doesn't really matter which brand you buy, just make sure that it's the 100% natural kind and the only ingredient listed should be tea tree oil. You should avoid buying from some common drug stores which sell the diluted kind and instead, buy from a health food store. They almost always sell the completely natural products. It doesn't matter much, it is mostly all the same as long as it's natural.

which kind of tea is without caffiene

There are some great antioxidants in black tea but the caffiene hurts it's health benefits. The healthiest tea is South African Rooibos or Red Bush Tea. It is amazing, immune system building, antioxidants - tastes great and no caffiene. But the best place to get this is South Africa - you have to read labels carefully - Alvita has a red bush tea but I found the tea a friend buys me straight from South Africa is more potent and rich. I'm sure there are some stores where you can buy it - probably health food stores or stores that specialize in South African foods. It's so healthy and good for you that I've heard of people even giving it to soothe and calm baby's tummy. Celestial Seasonings sells different rooibos teas but I find that they are not as rich and potent and that sold by the South African producers direct from the source and fresh.

Is it safe to drink chinese green tea while pregnant?

Green tea is safe to drink while you are pregnant, however, it should be moderated. I have read several recent reports that say that intake should be limited to 8-10 oz. a day. Like coffee and other things, all teas does have caffeine in it, and there could be effects on the baby if you have too high of an intake during your pregnancy. Also, where other member mentioned that it was and antioxidant, it is true, but cleaning out your body too much while pregnant could be dangerous because your body acts differently during times such as pregnancy. I personally would get your own OBGYN's opinion, however in my last pregnancy (2005), I did limit my intake and I drink a ton of green tea everyday.

Where Can I buy high quality Japanese or Chinese Green Tea?

I want to buy it for my mother for mothers day. She does not like any flavored kinds, just plain. It does not have to be in tea bags but it can. I am looking for a place locally in Columbus or for somewhere online. I want high quality (not cheap). Also, i am not sure if I can find a tea pot or pitcher that you steep the tea in and there is a strainer that catches the dregs as you pour it.

1. try Asian grocery stores or online at Adagio.com or Teaspring.com .
2. thats tough if you dont wanna make a trip to china or japan find an oriental market or some sort of chinese grocery store and they should have a collection of loose tea leaves they might have a tea pot as well.
3. I get mine at the local Asian market. They have a huge number of teas (although about 80% are in bags). Teavanna has great teas (some flavored) and you can buy a tin with as much as you're willing to buy. Other good tea store will have the same.

what's the difference between Japanese and Chinese green tea

All teas come from the same plant: the Camellia sinensis. What sets Japanese green tea apart from the others is how it is processed. Instead of beginning with a drying process, Japanese green tea is made by immediately steaming freshly picked tea leaves. This prevents fermentation and is thought to inactivate potentially harmful enzymes while leaving the healthy antioxidants intact. These antioxidants, called polyphenols, account for the asserted medical benefits of green tea.

Where people get tea and what kind the drink

1. Health food stores, asian food stores ( if you are near a city that has a Chinese section, that is awesome) or try  Asian Grocer.com.,they have a good selection of real Asian foods.
2. i buy my green tea at a authentic japenese/sushi rest. sent right over from japan. if you have one near you they should sell you a bag
3. I'm a tea nut -- preferring oolongs, puerhs and green tea. I have experience with some of the online vendors mentioned above -- In Pursuit of Tea, Teance, Imperial Tea Court, and O-Cha.com -- and I think those are good choices. I personally have not had such great green tea from Ten Ren (their focus is oolong). You will do much better with tea specialists (online or brick/mortar) than supermarkets or even Asian groceries. If you are in or near NYC, I can also recommend highly The Tea Gallery in Chinatown. If you like Japanese greens, also try sencha.com; they often have an astonishing variety!
4. I had been a regular shopper at Upton Tea online for their sencha, but I've converted to My Green Tea. Though the name isn't inspiring, its sencha is the best I've tasted. They sell at retail in a handful of stores in the greater Seattle area and online at mygreentea.com. Their bagged sencha is fresher and more complex than most other loose green teas, and their loose sencha is heaven -- smooth to the point of buttery.
5. I'm adore green tea and am very picky regarding taste and aroma. I only use loose leaf teas that I pick up from asian and boutique tea shops. I don't buy on-line because I want to see and smell the leaves... but I'll link some pictures so you know what you are looking for. 
6. Here's a link to a really good web tea vendor. Their green teas are excellent and their website offers lots of info. And if you're ever in San Francisco, you can visit their shops in Chinatown and in The Ferry Building Marketplace.Link: http://www.imperialtea.com/
7. Maeda-en is a pretty reliable Japanese brand that I've seen in Japanese and Korean stores. I generally buy Japanese tea, but friends tell me that Ten Ren(Chinese) is also good. I've seen that in both Vietnamese and Chinese stores.
8. I agree with Morton about bagged tea and I'm glad he suggested that you can buy the empty bags and fill they yourself. Once you start drinking green tea, none of the prebagged tea tastes like much of anything. 
   Another nice tea source is Far Leaves Tea. Although it is not a green tea, the blood orange made with fresh blood oranges is amazing.
