Anyone drank black tea for many years, developed mental health issues?

Yes, same here with the exception of this obscure writing of a English writer at a time when tea drinking became very popular in England in the 1800's. They seemed to "hit the nail on the head". It's not dementia but a dullness and/or a degradation of concern, in general. Obviously if we were talking alcohol it would be much different! So I would say I agree that there are most likely no negative mental effects but I believe it's worth looking into, for a number of reasonable reasons, by unbiased sources.

Just 100 years ago, 250 years after tea-drinking was widely practiced in merry olde England, doctors were very serious that tobacco smoke enemas were wonderful cures for something. Hives maybe.
On Tuesdays, my news feed tells me that red wine, or even any amount of alcohol really, is to be avoided. Two weeks later, always on a Tuesday, the latest 'science' (admittedly interpreted and fluffed up by an independent or guest journo), says a couple of glasses of red wine are actually beneficial.

Even so, I applaud you for being brave and for putting the question out there. One can't be too careful... 😀
