Many people drink tea on a daily basis. But, there are three things you need to know if you’re a tea drinker.
Three important things to know about tea:
1. Certain teas are high in tannins
• Tannins bind iron, zinc, and calcium
• Tannins block the absorption of vitamin B1 (a B1 deficiency may cause anxiety)
2. Certain teas are loaded with heavy metals (aluminum, lead, and arsenic)
• Teas from China may have higher amounts of heavy metals and pesticides
3. Certain tea bags are bleached with chlorine
• The chemical used (epichlorohydrin) is a carcinogen
You don’t need to stop drinking tea altogether. You just need to do a few simple things first, including:
1. Ensuring your tea is organic
2. Taking vitamin B1 and minerals
3. Buying loose leaf tea or making sure your tea bags are bleach-free
4. Researching your tea and finding out where your tea comes from

Thank you Dr Berg! 🐱👍🏿
Thank you so much Fidel.....
Thawadah/Thank you.
Excellent job. Thank you.
I usually just boil spices and herbs together, not actual tea leaves. Usually cinnamon, ginger, cardamom (locally grown), sometimes add tumeric or saffron. Occasionally add tea (from Kenya)
Good summary
You know what else is unhealthy? STRESS 💯
right!!
and STRESS comes from??? .... FEAR! Fear this .... Fear that ....
@@offiz EXACTLY
THIS!👆🏻
@@offiz I don't know what you mean by fear. Fear holds us alive. But sitting and thinking about it for no reason is something else.
Just as I sit down for a nice morning video and a cup of tea...
Dr. Berg sure knows how to spoil my day ;-)
Haha same!
😂
Hahaha
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I never touch nonorganic tea n nvr drink black or caffeinated teas. Herbal teas taste much, much better!
I think this one did it for me. My anxiety is definitely worse from watching these videos daily. State of mind has a lot to do with one's overall health. I've noticed that happy-go-lucky people tend to be healthier.
totally agree,,, :)
Take it from me: a healthy dose of denial is absolutely necessary to live a happy life. I'm an "upper." When I see negative stuff that tries to tell me how "wrong" I've been about something, I take it with a grain of salt. P.S. Salt is another "enemy" they talk about. I believe it's good for you. But mostly, just have fun and have to say I LOVE LOVE LOVE your "name." I am a "Raspberry Beret" fan. Often find myself humming it.
Agreed. Im done fear mongers
maybe you have anxiety because you're depleted in B1. You know tannins n stuff...
Yes. Watching his vedio Daily is harmful.
A big majority of people over here in England have drank tea most of their lives,and there's alot of old people who still drink alot of tea and not fancy tea like organic or herbal just ordinary tea front supermarket's and still manage to live to a good old age..My grandma loved her tea and she lived still she was 90 ..
Exactly. What’s this guy’s agenda?
He's an unqualified alarmist.
Most tea sold in the Atlantic Islands and North America is from India, Sri Lanka, and Kenya. That and a smidge of paper will not hurt you. Dang.
PG tips has got to be one of the healthiest beverages around.
True. Alot of British live to a ripe old age, drink gallons of tea. Drink it all week. No organic. I knew a britishly lady loved her tea, lived to 102. Passed of old age. Her brother in law lived to 95, ate bacon and eggs everyday, had to shots of whiskey a day, one before bed, smoked a pipe. He was also British descent
Quite. Telling an Englishman that tea is not good for you. He'll be telling us to give up curries next.
In the Caribbean we drink all sorts of local bush or herb teas without the bags and it's healthy. We just pick them fresh from the yard!
Which island? I grew up drinking bush tea every night while living in the islands with my grandma.
Your blessed to live there in a land of natural goodness,straight from the earth.
So do I . I drink tea without bags just local tea leave dried under the sun
Dominican Republic
In the Bahamas we grew up on bush teas. I can just walk out my door and pick my tea.
I've talked with Bigelow Tea based in Connecticut and they test for pesticides and heavy metals. They also use non-bleached, compostable tea bags. They have a large variety of teas in several different forms. I've drunk their teas and enjoyed alot...hope this info is helpful!
Thank you, this is very helpful!
For me, the stress of watching Dr. Berg put fear into every damn thing I DO is shortening my life!
Watching this dimwit is not a legal requirement.
😂😂😂😂
I hope it balances out with the changes in your lifestyle hehehe
Yooo lolll
Best advice available anywhere.
You've got to be kidding me 😂... I give up!! Just don't do, eat, or drink anything. Lol
@Marsee. I'm beginning to feel that way too. 😒
What remains ?🤷🏽♀️
AMEN! I am SO sick and tired of this - I HAD to give up coffee and was told tea was super healthy!
@@YNergy hot water with something add can't really by healthy.
@@Brukrex Even hot water by itself probably isn't. NOTHING is!
My Dad drank tea every day till 101, including usual brands which came in tea bags for over forty of those years. The only thing he suffered from was arthritis, which was hereditary.
Not sure what you are trying to say but you also have people who smoke their entire life and nothing happens, doesnt prove anything.
@@crusher1980 the problem is the people who smoke has problems, if they smoke like they're drinking tea, in this case for forty years, and drinking tea would usually be 1-5x a day but smokers will smoke more than that...you should pick a different thing to compare it to, because even non-smokers can get affected by cigarettes (but the effects will vary from person to person, some will be less affected or other will be more affected by it)
aaaaaand... so?
Aw that’s awesome
@@crusher1980 apples and oranges
The more of these videos I watch the more I'm inclined to just say whatever and eat what I want when I want. I don't have the time or the money to scrutinize everything I consume.
Don’t buy shitty yea from China 😂 👍🏻
I found that black and green tea (just one of each a day) helped lessen my anxiety, improved my memory and focus and helped me wean off coffee without the horrible caffeine withrawal.
Nobody probably drinks so much tea that they experience these negative symptoms anyway.
Quit cofee half a year ago because of bad caffeine crashes, with Black tea is strange it keeps energized for a very long time compared to cofee, no crash at all, also calms me down, and lessens my anxiety.
Ya , I only drink a gallon a day every day
Somehow, for me black tea helps me concentrate, yes, but not stay awake. In fact, it helps me fall asleep lol. And somehow, melatonin keeps me awake. So I am the weird person who takes melatonin in the morning after a bad night to stay awake, and drinks tea before going to sleep lol.
Everyday I keep learning that life is really about balance
Screw it, I’m back on Scotch and Dominican cigars. I tried to eat healthy, but everything is bad. I just saw a video saying I can’t fry with avocado oil because now it’s suddenly “bad.” Now my green tea is bad. Gimme a break, nobody lives forever and eating “healthy,” and I’m still seeing people die in their 70’s, 80’s and 90’s.
There are healthier options, For example using animal fat to fry with is healthier than vegetable oils which oxidize in heat, drinking quality loose leaf tea is better than the crap thrown in tea bags, even pure additive free tabaco is not nearly as bad as pre-rolled Marlboros full of chemicals, grass fed beef is better than corn fed beef etc etc
@@Sunflower-lv9iu Agreed. Single malt scotch is better than a blend. 🍻 cheers!
Salut!
Hahah, was scrolling to all the "Thank you Dr. Berg for saving my life" comments and then this! I had to comment on it.. Sorry it turned out to be waaaay too long.
I feel you man, especially if you watch too many of these videos everything seems bad. But in the end it's also a bit of a fact that most foods nowadays are just screwed by industrialisation and have a lot of bad components. Cancer is and has been on the rise for a reason...
I try to learn from these vids to see what my body actually needs and this is sometimes very interesting I think. I live in Portugal myself where everything is extremely heavy in carbs.. Lots and lots of meat, bread and wine etc. Way too heavy, if I just eat Portuguese food I feel terribly heavy and I need to sit or lay down after every meal to digest. But on the other hand there are a lot of very good natural products in markets and the food is delicious...
I tried to live without any carbs and sugar and all that and felt more energetic and lighter but also found it very boring. This maybe also because I made my body addicted to a heavy carb diet before but still.
Nowadays I enjoy the Portuguese food, but just cut out the worst offenders like drinking sugary drinks and I add quite a lot of veggies and electrolyte rich foods which happen to be also nice. And I feel like it's good enough, I feel much better then when I don't eat them. When I'm not working out a lot I try to eat less carbs, try to control my wine intake (With limited succes, but at least I try to keep it as a treat for the weekends.. Most people drink wine here everyday with lunch..) And that's it. Ah and I skip a meal every now and then in the evening.
I think if you do everything according to all these videos and get obsessed you'll be living off of lemons, olive oil, applecider vinegar and avocados only. (All things I love but still..) And before you know it get scared of everything unhealthy all the time which I don't think is necessary but whatever, take it as far as you want I guess.
I don't want to take anything away from Mr. Berg I think he's very informative and concise. I find some of the videos very interesting and I learn a lot from them. I think If people would be better educated about modern supermarket food, there wouldn't be so much shitty artificial modern supermarket food around and we live happier and healthier lives. And on top of that real natural products taste so much better...
But I can get into your sentiment as well completely and have a big antireaction saying fuckiiiiit, drink a bottle of rum and have a smoke and enjoy your life. In the end It's not Mr. Berg's job to tell you how to live your life it's just food science to be used however to anyones benefit really.
You might have a point. Ozzy Osbourne had more cocaine in his veins than blood for many years, yet he’s somehow still alive.🤷🏻♂️
Was anyone else sipping tea as they watched this video?
Tea is so addictive.
Lately I've been making my own teas with raw ginger, turmeric (both organic). I add cinnamon, cardamon, a dash of pepper, a small red chili pepper and boil and steep for a few minutes to give it extra hotness. Then some lemon squeezed into it just before drinking. I don't add any sugar. Just trying to fight off any viruses, and it tastes good....
Hmm. This sounds good. I will try it. I already put a lot of those things into my tea anyway. Also lemon and a small amount of local honey.
Great
That’s like chai
@@mattnguyen1672 Chai doesn't have lemon and usually is with milk.
This guy would say that is very harmful for you health. Cinnamon makes you infertile, chili peppers give you ulcers and digestive problems, boiling and drinking hot tea give you throat cancer, cardamon increases allergies and gall bladder problems, and impotency! I, however, think that sounds healthy and delicious. lol
I drink 1 cup of black tea since I was born in and my 70's now
Very Healthy
3 weeks later
Unless someone has some underlying medical condition, black tea is fine to drink. I drink a fruit jar of black tea (good ole' Lipton) every morning.
Hel-lo! We need a black tea club.
You’ve been drinking tea “ since you were born”? What was your mother - a tea urn?
Woah, 1 cup of tea at your day 1!?
My gosh! Your mother would have had a fit seeing you fit & going for a cup of tea!
Remember Doc has to find content every day to keep youtube algo and income stream, if you watch daily you can easily stress, cut out all the stuff that you enjoy (important) and have a shelf full of different vitamins, minerals and supplements. For the average Joe, just incorporate more whole foods into your diet and less packaged and work from there. I'm English, have drunk black tea all my life and won't give it up, I enjoy the flavours of the regular brands PG, Typhoo, etc... I do have organic, clipper unbleached too, mix em up for different tastes of the same thing, most of it comes from India/region. I stopped Twinnings as they had high levels of pesticides, but c'mon...if cuppa's are your vice...you'll be fine. It aint nowhere near drink and smokes. Genetics plays a big part. There are many old folks in UK, its common to live to a ripe old age...and almost ALL have been drinking regular PG tips or Typhoo or similar since childhood. The videos are good knowledge to have, but as you get older you know you cannot take it too seriously, you'll be drowning in fear and supplements. Don't dink alcohol much at all, don't smoke, get active every now and again, cut out as much sugar as you can, don't over eat, vegetate in front of tv....you'll be fine.
I've read most of the comments n drberg is trying his best t help us humans become aware of things n how t manage things
Watching his vids has improved my health energy n overall health, as opposed to
NO ONE ELSE HAS EVER EVER EDUCATED US ON THINGS WE HUMANS INGEST
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER❤
Don't over eat does probably applies to most people or the average Joe as you mentioend, but I want to note that it does not apply to many people. Some people have the opposite problem, and not just people with anorexia or people starving. If an athlete with a powerful metabolism is trying to put on muscle mass, it is difficult to eat enough, let alone over eat. So long as the food being eaten is healthy, but eating unhealthy food is a separate issue.
Well said!
As I watch this video I'm having my 4th cup of green tea 🍵 everyday for many years...I gave up everything that's bad..not giving up my tea.thank you for the video
For someone who is on a budget I just try to do the best I can. I cannot afford expensive brands.....sometimes, but not always. I love green tea in a large mug with squeezed lemon and one teaspoon of stevia. Sometimes I will drop some raspberries or pieces of orange into the mug and then I eat them when I've finished my tea. It's a little treat at the bottom of the mug 😆
Try Japanese brands like Itoen, they’re high quality, not expensive, and very good for you.
@@DisgruntledPigumon thank you! I will try.
👍
Jennifer, I am afraid you are digging yourself into a tea "fox-hole". Like we would say in the "war" ain't no tea drinkers in foxholes? But sometimes foxes will tea-bag you in the hole?...
@@b_cause 🤣🤣🤣 I do not understand
A Canadian study years ago showed even organic tea from China had pesticides. They tested many of the major brands. The one black tea that tested with no pesticides was Red Rose. It's not organic but it was the best.
Thank you! God bless!
@@tammyking5255 You as well !
If that tea had pesticides in it, then it wasn't organic, despite the label.
@@NomadicNight Unfortunately it passed the organic certification. And it should be noted like all things involving big corporations there are now certain "approved" sprays that can be used on "organics". So don't trust the labeling, do your research.
Canada. Lol Trudeau u trust?
About forty years ago there was a very popular book on the Hay Diet by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond and I remember them saying that if you drank more than a couple of cups of tea a day you would likely need a kidney transplant at some point. Having drunk around seven or eight large mugs of strong tea a day over those forty years my kidney function is checked every year and is doing fine.....
Yes…. Yes… everything in moderation… and stop worrying. look like everything is not good, stop listening to much .. listen in moderation too..stress can kill you too..love and light to all of you beautiful people ❤
I just learnt something very shocking about drinking Tea. I will now drink 1 cup of Black Tea a day instead of 5 cups. Thank you Dr. Berg.
I grow my own mint, which I use for tea. I also create a tea with fresh ginger and half a large cinnamon stick. I cut up the ginger into tiny pieces so the juice flows out of it. I add the ginger and cinnamon to my teapot, and boil. Then I let it simmer for 20 minutes. I add honey to sweeten. I also cut the mint leaves up in tiny pieces for when I boil it.
Thanks for another amazing video! I have wemt from 240 to 180 in a few months just armed with the knowledge! I love green tea and black coffee, its amazing to have someone give you this information which I feel should be easier to find! I recommend Dr. Berg to EVERYBODY I meet. I was just talking to a music student here at the studio about the importance of HEALTH and how much a healthy diet can INCREASE how well you can play an instrument!
Thanks Dr. Berg!!!! I feel like I am living a new life.
I was born and raised in Uganda 🇺🇬 and my father had a tea plantation and as soon as the leaves were picked weathering was started and at 4am in the morning the tea leaves were processed and within 7 days or less the tea was in your cup did not use any fertilizer only cow manure and mulch to keep the soil moist in dry conditions but always learn something new
Another amazing and enlightening video! Thanks for spilling the tea Dr. BERG!! 🍵
I drink a lot of Cold Green Tea in the Gallon by Milo’s. 0 Calories. But another great video! I’m on day 11 of Intermittent Fasting. Went from 308 to 292 currently. I’m 6’3”, and used to lift weights all of the time. My healthy weight is around 220 to 230. My Goal.
Thats amazing...Im proud of you..What are your I.F. Times and did you lose this weight on fasting alone?
Wow. Wonderful man
@@raymanjohan8838 Thanks for the compliment! Thanks to Dr. Bergs Channel I’ve been learning a lot! Just a wealth of knowledge! I started doing the 16/8 intermittent Fasting about 11 days ago. My times are 6pm to 10-11 the next morning. In my 8 hour window I drink lots of water, 0 calorie Green Tea, and just eat pretty healthy within the 8 hours, trying to stay under 2000 calories. I also totally quit Soda, energy drinks, Starbucks, etc. I weigh myself every morning on a digital scale and write it down. I had fast weight loss in that first week. I’ve been stuck at around 292 for the last few days. But I’m going to stick with this plan, and keep learning from Dr. Berg and other good channels. I’m 51 now, so I definitely have to stick with this for some great reasons, like Diabetes runs in the family. Also, I merchandise for Pepsi Co. Full time, so my job forces me to walk and work alot. 40-50 hours a week. Plus House and yard work. Waking the dogs. So I am physically active, but would like to start a biking and weight lifting routine soon. In my first week of fasting with the weight loss, I’ve had some tiredness, Lathargic, withdrawals, some weakness and anxiety, headaches, etc. but it’s getting better. I start my job at 5am, and all I have is black coffee with a little cinnamon and water, until 10-11 hits. Otherwise I’m finding Intermittent fasting pretty easy. Good luck if you try it. I think it’s definitely worth it. And a money saver. I’ve been avoiding fast food also. I also watch a lot of Dr. John Campbell. He has a great channel. He’s more about keeping up to date with Covid, Flu’s, Pandemics, etc. Facts and info.
Does it stain your teeth?
I could hardly stand the strong CHEMICAL taste of green tea😝
What’s your ratio of IF
Wow this is informative! It totally makes sense.. I've noticed whenever I consume caffeine I always get restless legs syndrome, amongst all the other symptoms he listed as well! Thanks for sharing.
THAT’S IT! I’m giving up my day job to start growing my own tea.
I still do purchase those in tea bags while delving more lately on loose leaf versions. Yeah, Japan is of high quality and doing research still gives anyone the safety net. Thanks for this.
I love organic, non caffeinated, herbal teas. I rip open the tea bag and pour the tea into a strainer or Yoassi then pour the hot water to let the tea steep. No bleached bags. Great video!!
I've never thought of opening the tea bag. I'm going to try this method.
Thank you Dr. berg🎉you are so appreciated in my life!!❤️
Life will sustain no matter what but the quality of it will depend more on the choices you make. Thanks Doc for everything you do for us!
DR Eric. I was thinking about asking you about this very subject. Your always right on time with your information and have saved me literally from alot of pain and improved my health tremendously. Thank You! By the way I stop all grain for two weeks just to see and found out it was the culprit for 80% of my issues. It's been 8 months! It's a hard road to travel with out Bread or Cornbread But I would rather be pain free. On thing is I have lost 20 pounds post covid and can't gain weight. Diet is so limited. I feel tea also was the cause for blocking nutrients my body need to absorb to maintain a health weight. Just started a week ago eliminating tea well weaning really still do green tea. Again thank you for everything!
That was a very kind and helpful video, thanks Dr Berg. I've been drinking alot of tea and coffee to counteract the the terrible effects of antipsychotics that I'm made to take for no good reason, and now I can see why the nice feeling is quickly ruined by the harmful effects of the pesticides, chlorine and the tanins binding to nutrients that I can't replace cause I'm not hungry. I won't drink cheap tea again, or any tea for a while, and going to watch the video again. Thank you so much!!
Thanks for this important info
Sure thing.
Tea is all my dad lived on towards the end. Over 20 mugs of pg tips a day with tap water, full fat milk and white sugar. It was all he had. Lived till 75 years old.
Once I gave up my 3 cups of black tea a day… my acid reflux improved 90%!!!! It made a Hugeeee difference
I only had acid reflux when I weighed over 200 pounds now I’m 160.
You need hydrochloric acid for acid reflux. Enjoy your tea.
I have a 99 year old uncle who’s been drinking extremely strong tea all his life. 🤷♀️
In acid reflux sales..? Yes, you must reflux your though on tea.. Remember the Boston reflux party? When I think back to that time it burns?
I drink 5 cups of strong black tea for sixty years, no sugar or milk, and no acid reflux from tea for me, it is quite calming, and better than having a cigarette!?!
Was a regular user of tea and coffee until I got gastritis during lockdown days. Doc told to avoid these and all of a sudden, stopped it. Started to experience good changes like reduced sinusitis, throat problem, migraine, heartburn and bloating.
I think it's more due to the caffeine than the other things . I had the same problem . I switched to decaf tea and coffee , and after a week big changed happened : my immune system got rejuvenated , i slept better and i started to lose some fat even though I didn't change my diet . Consuming a lot of caffeine is the worst thing to do .
Very interesting! What kind of throat problems did you have? Thanks 😊
Yeah that happened to me with coffee. I don’t touch it anymore. The caffeine is too high for me.
i only drink a cup whenever im loaded with a meal. never in an empty stomach. and when i tend to fast or eat less, i tend to avoid those because its acidic for my liking
A cup of plain hot water is almost as good as tea, sometimes, a lot of people swear by it.
Thanks again for a wonderful and informative presentation. I am learning so much from you, and I really believe that learning all of this is helping me to be informative and to make excellent decisions about my food and drink intake. I am now 75 years old and I am hanging in there pretty well. Keep up the good work!
Excellent advice. Also, a group of proteins in milk (caseins) interact with the tea to decrease the concentrations of the protective flavonoids so it's best not to add milk. Also, steeping tea for more than three minutes can potentially increase heavy metal infusion, particularly lead and aluminum. As a general rule, steep white tea for one to three minutes and green and black tea for no more than three minutes. That's why you often see the instructions say if you want stronger tea, use two bags (versus steeping longer).
I have been drinking 'English' black tea with milk for 64 years and I ain't gonna stop. I also usually leave 2 teabags in the cup as I drink it. I hate coffee.
Interesting- I will use multiple tea bags in a single cup, and also leave them in while consuming. I've always then squeezed the remainder of the tea out into the cup, and drink that. The video mentions maybe to pass on doing that, as supposedly these 'tannins' are more concentrated in the bags, and tannins it says here, leach valuable nutrients (B1 etc.) from your body's absorption of such.
I stopped drinking coffee it was giving me to much heart burn 🔥
"I have been drinking 'English' black tea with milk for 64 years and I ain't gonna stop".
-------------------------------------------------------------
Good for you! I drink a fruit jar of black tea every morning, and I too ain't gonna stop. I add couple of packets of Stevia to sweeten plus some lemon juice. And I'm 76 and healthy.
Me too I hate coffee too but love tea
@@kenthompson5723 63 Super healthy. i make it good strong pot Every morning, put in a insulated pot and drink it all morning til it's gone. (doesn't take long) i drink black tea all day, alot of cultures do,,, especially in climates like UK,, New England and native people in the cold climates of asia. (they drink 10 times a day, black tea from youngest to oldest),,, for warmth.
As someone with thalassemia minor and a tea and coffee drinker, I've been anemic most times I've been tested. I've been slowly changing my ways though. I knew everything except about B1! I have B1 deficient symptoms so probably should get some of that
Hey Peony, you must be italian, me too. Just get the B1. i got NOW tablets (but they're kinda bitter),,,, next time i'll go for capsules and ?maybe a better brand, but not those out of control prices ones,,,,, you be fine,,, Ciao'
Same here. Still changing my diet a little at a time.
I have thalassemia minor as well
Eye opening. Thanks doc.
You're most welcome.
Dr Berg, thank u very much for the encouragement in this video. That being said, which tea is best for consumption?
I'm so glad to come across this video because I have been feeling weird after drinking black tea. At one point I did a test and they said I was low in minerals. But it all makes sense, the tea that I purchase is cheap tea 😄
Thing I learn from chemistry: Al is easier released in acidic pH, so lemon should be added after teabag (or leaves) is taken out. Aluminium is one of mayor cause of Alzheimer studies show
Thank you so much Dr.Berg.😊
This is great information - thanks for creating these videos, I love watching them. Do you have any recommendations on possible tea brands that you have found to be safe and organic?
Somebody will always find a reason why you shouldn't consume something. This message was brought to you by the loose leaf tea producers of Japan.
Look at all the raw fish and the tea that the Japanese people consume. They live the longest lives.
@@v.j.3029 And the 'purple powerhouse' of Okinawan sweet potatoes, apparently.
I have always been a major tea drinker which I substituted for my coke addiction in my 20's. I have been drinking 4-5 cups of Lipton black tea with milk and lots of sugar for energy to get through the day for decades. I think you may have just explained why I have also had to deal with anxiety on and off over the years. Eventually becoming an avid student of nutrition/alternative medicine I realized that my tea habit plus sugar was a main culprit. I was self medicating with the caffeine and sugar and definitely addicted. I learned to offset this with the Atkins diet and added much more protein to my diet which allowed me to stay addicted to tea. I could not survive without the 5 hits a day. I also made a major effort to take well balanced comprehensive multivitamins. I exercised an hour or more daily and did Yoga. So I have survived somehow and only drink 2 cups of Lipton a day (I am also addicted to Lipton and don't like other black teas!). Your information on tannins and how it binds is amazing and explains so much (especially to a black tea drinker like myself). Your information on nutrition and everything else is way beyond what anyone else is or can offer. I know it is very time consuming but you are certainly filling a major niche which no one else can do as well as you. THANK YOU!
Just realised you mean Coca Cola (I think). Was gonna say, that’s a helluva swap.
Great definitive negative health factors,as well as the sweetener hit on each cup and the expense of a high $ perfect tea blend is a good reason to eliminate the beverage and change to other beverages.Thank you for this forum.👍🏼👏
Mine has been a herbal tea addiction,which can be beneficial to different degrees.Without too much sweetener!
You should try coka cola 😂
Man I can feel the coke in your comments you still hit that dont lie
Thanks Doc this is great information.
You're most welcome.
Thank-you! I needed this!
Awesome! Glad it was helpful.

Tea used to be nice, it had an oily aromatic natural flavor. It was handpicked but now, machines are used. The stuff in tea bags is a ground-up powder probably comprising a lot of the bitter stem material. Haven't tasted a good cup in years.
Straight to the point video, no blah blah to lengthen the video. That’s why I love watching your video.
Interesting. I've been a long time tea drinker. Will have to look at which brands are best to go with. Thanks!
I was getting gout attacks at least once a day after a month of drinking tea, soon as I stopped so did the gout. That was the most painful experience I have ever had.
Damn I hear gout is only for unhealthy people first & foremost.
Thank you for giving us information about tea. I'm a tea drinker and never realized that there was heavy metals and other chemicals in the tea bags . I realize now that I will read more on the labels and where the tea came from. I will now think about getting loose tea instead of tea bags and find out where the tea came.We love all the information that you give us and help us trying to stay healthy. We also look forward to seeing the videos that you do . I hope you will continue to do more videos on our health issues.
Hi, "Tealyra" is a superb tea company. It has many choices to choose from, like which country or what format you want your tea. It's worth to check them out.
I cut open my tea bags and pour the leaves into a strainer or teapot.
It is better to buy leaf tea instead. Cheaper too.
Very informative an excellent programme
Very helpful, thanks
You're welcome
Very helpful! I’m a big tea drinker. The good stuff and never in bags! I’ll up my minerals and B1 now though. Thanks, Doc.👍🏼
Thank you for this helpful video. I was experiencing anxiety last night. I didn't know why until I watched your video. I drank tea yesterday I was enjoying it but I felt anxious and felt depressed last night until today. Now I understand why. I will drink green tea instead once in a while. Dr. Berg can you make a video on smoking herb pipe? Is it safe?
Living the south I love my sweet tea.... and I love Pique tea too. It's so good warm.
Thanks Doc!
Oh my Dr Berg, of all your advice this is going to be the toughest to follow. I am the Typical English Tea drinker who has at least 4 cups a day through the day. I really find it helps me and lifts my mood and gives me energy. Maybe it is a placebo but I think it works. I think I will take your advice on source the best tea in loose form and watching out for B1 vitamin depletion. Thanks for your videos.
You could consider replacing a cup of tea with something else, like Tulsi or catnip, or peppermint...whatever herb you like. I couldn't give up tea, not altogether, but as I don't like decaf, I'll have an herb tea after supper. And sometimes, the first cup in the morning is an herb tea, as I find regular tea too acid to be the first thing I drink on an empty stomach.
Drink water and eat healthy foods. Avoid caffeine. Exercise and sleep. Plain and simple. Moving on....
Mindblowing. Important. 😮🙏
Great... I need it...thank you.
You forgot one thing about tannins - they react easily with proteins and become bound up. This is the basis behind leather tanning. So, tea with milk is better than black tea because the milk proteins will bind up the tannins. This is how people in the Indian subcontinent and Eastern Africa drink tea. Britain too, I guess, but with much less milk.
I’ve switched to soy milk, do you think there is enough protein in that to do the same as dairy?
@@blueskyandtrees Yes, I think so.
Additional information about tannins. They'll even react with the mucosal layer of the inside of your mouth and esophagus. That's right - slightly tanning your inside. No need to be alarmed. It's very slight. But this might a good reason to not drink lots of strong black tea. If, however, you don't like milk tea, putting lemon/lime juice into your black tea will also inactivate the tannins.
@no man's land I'm not sure what exactly you want to know. But, Earl Grey tea is still black tea that's flavoured with bergamot, grapefruit and other citrus oils. Bergamot is a citrus fruit, something like a cross between orange and lemon. So, the oil in it should bind some of the tannins in Earl Grey tea. But just how much citrus oil is in the tea, and whether it will bind up most of the tea tannins, is something I don't know. My guess is that you'd need to add more lime/lemon juice to the tea if you don't like very astringent tasting tea! Earl Grey was originally meant to be taken without milk (i.e. as black tea). So, you'd probably get a lot of tannins if you drink it straight. I've tried Earl Grey and didn't like it. Next time, I'll add more lemon juice to it!
I started drinking 1 Green Tea per day, after breakfast but before I go into MMA training for the day. It helps with energy levels as well as the antioxidants being able to assist the internal system of my body. I started doing this about 2 months ago.
Dandelion root is a good alternative to your morning coffee or tea. It totally lacks caffeine and will cause you to poo uncontrollably for ten minutes. Healthy way to start your day. 👍
Thank you Dr. Berg!
You're so welcome!
Been drinking about 6-10 cups of tea and coffee a day for about 35 yrs... Never had anxiety, restless sleep Etc. In fact, I can have a tea or coffee then get a good nights sleep.
Normal English tea, drop of milk, one sugar. Same with coffee.
I’m not disagreeing with anything you say, but I’ve had zero problems that I’m aware of that could be related to those beverages.
Same. I'm English born and bred, early 50s, been drinking black Tetleys and PG Tips tea since childhood and there are no health problems or vitamin deficiencies for me. ☺
I too drink a ton of English tea and some coffee! im fine but i cant get a bad nights sleep if i drink too much too late
Only because you don’t have any issues doesn’t mean is good for everyone.
or maybe drinking that much caffeine for so long has become so normal for you that you dont even know that your bormal state at the moment is like 50% of you total potential, had you reduced your intake.
you understand me? like how do you know if you current state is actually healthy if you are not willing to try doing some changes in your diet to see if the other side may be way greener after wall.
@@irisana7398 not suggesting it is, but it’s pretty much an English/British staple and whether or not the nation has any health issues due to tea, I’d say it’s more other dietary problems from foods.
In fact, I’m just having a tea beak and an apple as i type this.
Hubby is British. Therefore he and 4 of our 5 children drink tea. Hubby would use 2 PG tips tea bags, 2-6 times daily. I have always been a coffee drinker. This year I began researching the coffee and tea we drank and was not happy with what I discovered. So, this year I switched to organic tea (Irish Breakfast) and organic coffee. Since CV in January I can not drink even 1/2 the caffeinated coffee as before or I end up in the bathroom all day. So, now I use 1/3 organic caffeinated and 2/3 organic decaf.
I love all of your videos they are so informative thank u!
Thank you very much. Glad you like them. Thanks for watching!
I always buy organic tea bag Nerada grown in Australia
Thank you Dr Berg.
I am a tea drinker and have been since I was a kid. This video gave me some insight on choosing the right kind of tea.
And how many years tooo late is it lol
In addition, there are the noxious substances used to stick tea bags together. Plus plastic used to make the bags themselves. I'm in the UK, Pukka brand is among the very few to avoid these, using cotton to seal bags.
Thanks so much for the info
I love green tea it's awesome Blessed Be.
Thanks Doctor, huge fan of your content. I drink tea a lot like 500 ml or more than that every day without sugar but still with skim milk. Got some of these symptoms, will check the product and how get low on tea drinking.
Talking from experience here, I cut out all meats but chicken and fish. My anxiety went through the roof, including my panic attacks. Found out I was low on B1.
Personally I feel like it’s way to underestimated and not talked about nearly enough! You always hear about B12 and your vitamin D.
Very important when cutting out foods from your life too find alternatives to gain those nutrients those foods may have been providing
Thank You Dr Berg this makes a lot of since 🙏🏼
I just had an email exchange with a representative of Bigelow who stated that though they source their black tea from Mainland China and India they test it for pesticide residues. She also stated their tea bags are free of bleaching agents and plasticizers. I use Bigelow but for now I will use it only occasionally until I can explore this topic more in depth.
Tannin levels in tea can be mitigated by not brewing too long (black tea) or too hot (green tea). Many tea drinkers consider 3 mins to be the turning point for black tea. I personally never brew longer than 2 minutes. This avoids so much of the tanniny bitterness, there isn't need for sweetener. With green tea, brewed at 175 degrees only really needs 30 seconds. If green tea is ever bitter or harsh, it wasn't brewed correctly.
Thanks, I only cold brew my tea do you think it might help to reduce the tannins ?
@@jacobclark89I've heard a couple different approaches for cold brewing green tea. One is to let the tea/bag sit in the cold water for 2 minutes. Another, specifically about gyokuro, said that some people put it in a cup with ice and just take little sips of it over time as the ice melts. How do you normally do it?
@@SirMars I take cold water add ginseng powder, black tea bags and green tea bags and leave in the refrigerator over nite and drink
@@jacobclark89I was actually just reading about different cold brewings earlier before I saw this notification. I def recommend the book "Easy Leaf Tea" by Timothy d'Offay. I talks a lot about different teas and how to prepare them, including different versions of cold, "ambient", and sparkling teas. Even what they pair with. It's crazy
Great topic, Dr. Berg is right on point here. Personally, I've researched into rooibos heavily - or red tea. No caffeine, grown only in South Africa, no tannins, no oxalic acid either. Tons of health benefits and tastes slightly sweet and earthy. It's very rich looking, yet mild. I even found an organic earl grey version that uses Manilla Hemp tea bags.
@Randy Ross
Too cool! Can you share the name and where you get the Earl Gray with Manilla Hemp tea bags from please!
@@merccrewlcab2385 Sure. Took me a long time to find it - but the brand is called Tega. Based out of Mission, BC. FYI - the bags aren’t mentioned on their site, I discovered that via an email query.
@@RoguePC4U Thanks so much! I am in BC too, in the Cowichan Valley. I will get on it today! Cheers eh!
@@merccrewlcab2385 Nice. I’m in Nanaimo myself.
@@RoguePC4U small world eh... small island! Haha... I am in Mill Bay.
Thank you for your precious advice ❤ شكراااااا 😊
Glad to help!
To make the best tea; filter your water with a Zero Water pitcher(12 cup is the best size). Then boil the water in a glass pot, not metal, not microwave, and not plastic. I use a 1 Liter Visions cookware with pouring lip, and a sterling silver utensil to stir in Manuka honey.
Depends on the tea's. Organoc nettle thea is full of vitamins and healthy stuff..
Berg is talking about black tea only. Not herbal teas
Hi Doc. Did you forget oxalates? Black tea is high in oxalates, too much of which is not terribly good for one's kidneys. I came here thinking you might suggest putting milk in tea, like the Brits do, because the oxlates will bind to the calcium in the milk and perhaps not to other minerals you're eating --just a theory of mine.
Dairy helps with oxalates. Any thing high in oxalates needs a form of calcium to protect your kidneys
I just saw this video in my youtube recommendations and I wanted to comment that I will continue drinking tea without watching this video. Have a nice day.
I recommend Japanese Matcha tea! it is a bit expensive but its 100% quality and tastes amazing. A decent coffee replacement as well.
I drink allot of raspberry leaf tea harvested from my yard, pesticide free and organic 🤔😉 this is very very good for women including pregnant ladies 🙏❤️👋🇨🇦
People are tired of being bullied about every facet of their lives
With food , just do what you love.
We live in an age of uncertainty.
The day we die is already predestined from the moment we're born.
This is all depressing. Fancy living with a person like this person.
He’s not bullying you.. he’s informing you.. if you don’t like his videos move on.. no need to be rude!!
You are totally saying what I experienced on my body with black tea addictions. But whenever I used my own organically grown lemon grass or dandelion teas I felt better for several days with a single serving
Doc Berg-really awesome, great public service. Thanks!
We're glad to be of help!
