terriblepaulz Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 I'm not sure, there's some controversy regarding this. Green tea and black tea are the same thing, only the black tea is roasted/fermented/painted/whatever. So on the one hand, don't be fooled by the fact that it's green, but on the other, that's what I've been told. I.E. it's probably an oversimplification, and is more complex than that. To tell you the truth, it doesn't feel as caffeinated as even regular tea, I have no idea why. If I drink enough, late, it will keep me up. So I don't, but I can get away with a little. I'm not sure what your goals are, but if you want to cut down without giving up caffeine, it's the perfect solution. If you want that "jolt", look elsewhere. I would recommend the following: get plenty of sleep, drink lots of water, get some regular activity (exercise), start the day with protein, and don't forget to breathe. In other words, then you won't need the jolt. I don't really feel I need to stop drinking coffee. I probably drink too much fer sure, but . . . it tastes good. All the above is sound advice of course, but if I have a "goal" it is to determine if I can substitute green tea for my coffee (or some of my coffee) and get all that anti-oxidant wonder crap that green tea has. I think I may try and sub green tea for my afternoon jolt.
luvdunhill Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 ..or maybe start with an Oolong, Pouchong or Puerh

en480c4 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Good point... I'm not sure. Carry on.
Dusty Chalk Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 [bernard black]Demand away...[/bernard black] PS I agree with Jacob -- start by not substituting anything, and try just adding green tea to the rotation. You want to live forever? I've got two words for you: fish oil. Also: vinegar, specifically the apple cider variety.
terriblepaulz Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 I demand less talk of tea, moar Oyaide flavor nonsense! I thought I was turning the conversation in the right direction when I mentioned buggery - instead we get tea, the other thing the English know how to do.

MASantos Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 ... Also: vinegar, specifically the apple cider variety. I guess I'll live forever, twice! I've got about 500 gallons of cider vinager in the warehouse!! brilliant ideia: What about cider vinegar boiled power plugs and sockets? From the snake oil POV it should be as good as the crio shit!
kevin gilmore Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 A spoon full of this every morning really helps http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/caffeine.jpg keep it under 800mg !
Dusty Chalk Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 I guess I'll live forever, twice! I've got about 500 gallons of cider vinager in the warehouse!! It's not owning the cider vinegar that makes one live longer, it's consuming it.
Nebby Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Wow. I really wish I found this forum much earlier, this thread alone is that awesome.
