    Teaman and Barbara Holtzman:

    The leaves of the Camellia Sinensis (Black Tea) plant abosorbs more industrial fluoride from pollution than any other plant.  Fluorosis is linked to excess fluoride exposure.  The symptoms we assocciate with "arthritis" are strikingly similar to fluoride overdose.  If anyone is being "creative with the facts" it is the American Dental Association, Phosphate Fertilizer Industry (who is doing the polluting) and Water treatment plants who take this industrial waste and dump it into our water supply and deny any association between Fluoride and Arthritis.  Coffee and Black Tea are BOTH toxic because they contain caffeine which stress out your adrenal gland system.  BLack Tea maybe worse because of it's unnatural fluoride content that is not indigenous to the plant.  

    Joanne Z - You said you drink a lot of tea and you have been diagnosed with Arthritis.  Team says "not to worry"  I would reconsider.  Get off of tea for 2 weeks and watch the improvment!  I guarantee it.  I am a male and cured my arthritis by eliminating black tea

      Hi, normally people say drink lots of tea if you have RA but when I do especially cheaper tea my joints will swell it's just like gout but I've been tested twice for gout and aparently I don't have it, but if I drink red wine, stout I also suffer.

      I wish I new exactly what causes the swelling but at least I know Tea it took me 20 years to work it out, the doctors said it was phycosomatic just shows how little they know.

      I'm interested to know your experience especially if you know any natural alternatatives to NSAIDs
