It can't be any worse that sugar can it LX?

I really don't know tbh. That's why I recommended looking it up. It was a respected British outfit that did the study. It may be that it's worse than nothing, but equal to, or better than sugar. Usage style could also play a part. I'd expect drinking it in tea would be much better than chewing gum where you're mashing it into your teeth for long periods.

I love my (Brittish) tea, don't want to live withoput it as i don't want to live without snus. Amen

Good man! Don't forget Tetley... PG and Tetley are both my favourites.

pu-erh for me. it's aged, slowly fermented if i recall. sometimes for many many years. really smooth and earthy, with tastes of leather and peat. never, ever add sugar or milk or anything to my tea.

I buy as much tea as I can bring on a plane - whenever I am in the UK. I love PG teas http://www.pgtips.co.uk/newrange/, Yorkshire Tea, English breakfast.... Britain is my source of tea as Sweden is (or it rather was) my source of snus.

Morrison's, Sainsbury, Tesco.. they all carry excellent teas.. simple black teas, the best the world has ever known.

Look up xylitol online before you get on board with with it. I vaguely remember a connection with tooth decay. The alcohol converts to acid, and eats away tooth enamel. Maybe it isn't a big deal, I didn't read the full study, but it's worth noting before you jump in.

Okay thanks LX. Don't think i can afford to buy anymore... about 5 times the price of sugar which is expensive anyway!

Just tried some xlyitol as an alternative to sugar... it's good! Had it in coffee but will be trying it in tea.

Wow, just had a really nice cup of Tulsi (Holy basil) tea. Now i mixed it with honey and milk and it was not too dissimilar from a chai but with the added medicinal benefits. I like it. I hear you can make a nasal snuff out of it if you have a cold too. Check it out, it's all over youtube and the web.

Tulsi tea rocks! I've only had this one from Pukka:



The health benefits of Tulsi tea are amazing.

Wait, there's basil tea? Oh my god I want that. Where can I buy that?

I just picked up a tin of loose rooibos tea and a mesh dipper today. Tasty stuff.....about to have a second cup.

Pretty good for no caffeine.

Yerba Mate this morning...

Now, a cup of Earl Grey.

[Ansel]

also anyone ever tried the agave nectar sweetner in tea ?

No, is it good? Stevia is another sweetener for tea and things...
