[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 688890, member: 18958"] Glad you are here, ladies. Hi Walrus and RE. I do not like much green tea. I was drinking mint flavored chamomile and ran out. Now I am drinking anise flavored chamomile. When I run out I will grab mint from the yard. M makes a very healthy remedy, a tea of mint leaves and aloe vera which we boil together. It was the only thing that saved me when my stomach was bad. My favorite is black tea. But I drink it with milk and splenda. I did not know before that artificial sweeteners affect blood sugar or something like that-which is not good. I am allowing myself one large cup of coffee a day (morning) with 2 spenda. I thought I would miss my black tea in the afternoon but so far so good. (I did not know but black tea has something in it that relaxes one. It really has this effect on me.) I love black tea!! Love it. I am a Scot. Early memories were milky tea. With aunts reading tea leaves. And shortbread and scones and oat cakes. I worked with a really nice lady who is 7th day adventist, and a medical doctor, a psychiatrist. She was a lifelong vegan, and I believe most 7th day adventists are. She told be about something called the China Study that had proven the life-extending properties of this lifestyle. The last month or so I have been eating a lot of salad. And actually craved it for breakfast, too. I never believed I could omit meat and dairy--but now I believe I could. I do not think I would thrive though. *I think I would do best long-term on the Crete diet. My views are this: I believe that there are a number of dietary lifestyles that are healthy, not just one. I think to some extent it has to do with one's body, the bio-chemistry of it, and also what one can live with. Some people even think there is a genetic component, having to do with ethnicity and our geographical origins. They argue that our people came from a specific place, with specific food cultures, partly based upon climate and availability. Those people think we should not steer far from our dietary heritage. I know that on both sides of my family there is an emphasis on meat and potatoes, and on the paternal side sweets and breads (generations of bakers.) While I love salads, the foods I yearn for are those that are traditional for me. [/QUOTE]
