    Tea leaves have a high level of fluoride and it has been documented that too much fluoride can cause arthritis as well as many other ailments. Naturally, if you brew your tea with fluoridated water, there will be a higher level of fluoride in your tea. This can
    only add to ones suffering.

    Research is also showing that Rheumatoid Arthritis can cause heart attacks over long term. SO, cut down on your intake of tea, or better still, find a herbal tea that you like!

      Oh Great .. I don't drink, nor smoke, nor do anything that would be considered bad for my health ... but since I was diagnosed with RA back in 2000, I have always had several cups of tea a day, with meals, or Ice Tea.  We have well water so there isn't any flouride in my water.  I love my Tea .. I drink, Green, white, black never herbal, as I am allergic to too many of them!! This is NOT fair!!! sigh ... I'll just wait a week or two and they will change their minds!!  Although, I do like a good cup of coffee too ... *smiles*!! JoZ
