Title: green tea and green tea extract and flipper.com
Post by: cinmac on April 19, 2009, 10:04:30 AM
Hi,

I am new so maybe this topic has been brought up before.  I just read a research abstract that said people in China who have Sjogren's have substantially less mouth dryness.  Apparently the research indicates that drinking green tea and/or taking green tea extract reduces dryness.  Any one heard of this?  It sounds harmless enough to try, unless you are allergic to tea. I drink black now but I think I'll make the switch and see what happens.

I have been using a new search engine called flipper.com instead of my usual Yahoo and it seems to have much more info-more than I'll ever be able to read.  When I put in Sjogren's the list was overwhelming!  It is listed as a deep web browser.  Don't know if it opens you up to more cyber junk but I have a good security systen so I am going to check it out more thoroughly.  Has anyone else used it?

Hi Cinmac  :)

I usually use Google but Flipper sounds interesting.

There are advocates of green tea in here. I'm sure they'll be along!  :)

Take care - Scottie  :)    (who will drink pretty well any kind of tea going, any time of day!)

Hi Cinmac

I only drink green tea - I used to be a coffee addict - but switched to green tea - I don't take milk so only ever drank both black. I wondered if the tea was making me thirsty? I do enjoy my cuppa and don't yet feel ready to stop - even as an experiment.
