I think you are referring to anti-oxidants. Simon ., and what ever the doo-dads are called it's the same as whats in fruit. i forgot what they are called also, but they are in the order of highest amount to least amount: 1. chocolate, 2. wine, 3. fruit, and i don't know what the other ones are.

Like Bev, I tend to drink red tea (rooibus) most of the time, just made with hot water. I keep the teabag and get more cups from it during the day. Did I say I was frugal? :-) I made the mistake of buying a pack with chamomile in it and it still languishes in the cupboard. If I get a flavour,

No tea, no coffee. Except tea sometimes when my stomach hurts (very strange - then I suddenly get cravings for strong tea without sugar, which I normally hate; and it does make the pain stop!). I tried coffee once. Arabic, incredibly strong in a tiny little cup. Arrgh. Good thing they gave me

Simon here, I'm mainly a coffee drinker (prefer Nescafe instant, or shopmade cappucchino), drunk white with no sugar.I can't drink black coffee. However, I do sometimes drink tea, only black with no sugar. When I do, I enjoy the variety of Twinings teas (Russian Caravan especially). So if I ru

Well I don't like either the taste or smell of coffee. Yuck!! I occasionally drink iced tea in the summer but not too often. And in the winter when it's very, very cold, I'll indulge in the occasional cup of nice, not tea. But I don't drink it regularly in any form. And as far as the relation

I'm with the 'coffee can smell good, but I can't stand the taste' group. I've never liked bitter flavors. That includes both coffee and black tea. My main tipple is water. For a hot drink, I'll choose chocolate or a mild herb tea. To tempt myself, I probably have a couple dozen flavors of
