See, It's Not Just Me About Green Tea

For many of those who have been following my work since the mid 80s, and a colleague or two over the years, there now is some additional data on risk from green tea.
We have reported on the risk of pancreatic cancer from green tea.

A recent study published in the journal, Biopharmaceutics & Drug disposition (Alemdaroglu et al, 2008), suggests that drinking either green or black tea may actually lower the bioavailability of folic acid.

This and previous research suggests that consuming green or oolong tea is associated with lower serum folate levels in pregnant women.  Given the potential adverse effects of folate deficiency on fetal malformations such as neural tube defects, pregnant women should restrict their intake of these teas during pregnancy.

Because our environment becomes so much more toxic daily, cellular detoxification is part of my daily health regimen.


Creating Health Institute, the natural health education non profit organization I founded in 1988 continues to educate on this important subject.

 
This year we have a year long program, and we offer our rejuvenation cleanse as well.
You can't underestimate the importance of this process.
