I'm gonna make my response an emphatic Bravo Sierra. Everyone I know, and I mean E.V.E.R.Y.O.N.E. drink tea at least some of the time, and my wife and I drink it daily. So did my father, and my mother, my in-laws....they all drink tea. Believe me, some dullard PhD student somewhere in some backwater university would long since have, even out of desperation, taken this gem of anecdotal 'wisdom' and run with it in order to get credentials. No research I have ever seen suggests that tea is in any way deleterious for humans who consume it....for centuries, by the billions....with a B.

Edit- didn't mean to respond to the person quoted at the top of my post...I'm sorry. I mean this for the OP Robert Willis
