Hi, I am on the same regime :)
I used to drink ~4 cups of coffee a day, back in Italy, but no tea.

its funny, I've never heard anything about drinking Tea helping with Iron removal and in the past week, I've heard it from two different sources. lol I'm more of a coffee then tea drinker, occasionally I'll ave a cup on Indian black tea....guess I should take it as a sign to start drinking tea more often...

One of the funniest things I have seen at conferences is the doctors discussing the iron inhibiting properties of tea. They literally scratch their heads as they admit that tea really has this property. Here they are talking about all the long researched meds and then they are forced to acknowledge that thals really should be frequent tea drinkers. There are plenty of foods and supplements that help prevent the damage that iron does. It isn't just about meds. A wise thal can contribute to good health just by following a good antioxidant rich diet. My own long term observations show that tea and natural vitamin E are two of the most important things that any thal can take. Combine these with chelation compliance and exercise, as simple as regularly walking stairs, and you will see thals living longer and staying healthier.

Ya I found out the tea from a physiology textbook for a class I'm taking, not the docs...I guess I will have to start switching my coffee out for tea and taking vitamin e.
Thanks Andy!

I love tea, as I said in my earlier posts, twice a day (morning & evening). When there was Sunny weather back in May, I used to drink one more cup of tea (green tea this time with no sugarfree substance) in 5 in the evening seeing the shining sun but now as it's cloudy, I don't have that mood. But I'll soon start taking green tea again. :)
