Does sweet tea count? LOL

"Sweet Tea" is black tea my southern friend. Its is a tad weaker though but so much more of it is consumed than hot tea I am sure it makes up for it.

Wow this is great, my favorite drink can help me fight hair loss! lol

You must be from the Southern US. No one else really calls it sweet tea

I am from the southern US(TX) and I didn't know that no one else called it sweet tea :shock:

The total chemical make-up of black tea and green tea is quite different. Regardless of whether or not one is the fermented product of another.

Very understandible.

Green tea is actually baked dry, which apparently halts some of the bioactivity in the leaves that is allowed to continue on in black tea.

Im of the opinion that DHT inhibiton (finasteride) and a good amount of anti-oxidants and good nutrition in general are about all that can be safely done from an internal standpoint for pattern baldness at this point until we know more. I see some guys following Immortal Hairs regimine taking all sorts of supplements like perilla leaf oil, etc. in high amounts hoping to internally inhibit things like TGF beta totally and completely and openly wonder how these men's health will be affected 20 years down the line?

I just wanted to point out that the reason that these herbs ect are able to bring down these various hormones and factors is not by some direct or atificial means.

The lowers the levels by actually solving the problem, ie that is how they prevent cancer and cure cancer.

When they do this they are taking care of the probelm thus the markers ie TGF beta, alpha ect go down.

So it is very silly for anyone to think that by taking antioxidants that they are causing cancer.

With that said there are very uniqe situations where if too much of an anti-oxidant is taken (keep in mind this is very large amounts) the AO will become an oxidant its self.

Everyone should carefully monitor how much green and black tea they drink. They both have high concentrations of fluoride in them. Fluoride is incredibly toxic to the thyroid gland. If you or any immediate family members have ever had thyroid problems, I'd probably steer clear of both large amounts of tea and large amounts of soy products.

Really could you share some numbers with us? Does it have more fluroide than what is found in tap water? Never heard of someone have problems with this.

I would suggest people pass up the tea for a standarized product anyways so to reach an optimal effect. Also this way you can as the direct manufature for a total break down of the herb.

Personally I hate the caffine, so I take GTE in a supplement form.

I drink about 2 to 10 cups of tea a day! Very cool.

I've been drinking 5 green teas per day for years and I'm still captain forehead even with hair transplant..

We dont understand enough about these teas to even say they work. Yes in theory with some magic quantity of the active component without the digestive system and all the other tons of stuff that goes on the tea seems to work at some level against hairloss. There is no way with what we know of it so far you can for sure this tea will stop hairloss or even slow it. The tea very well could do nothing unless you drink it in insanely huge amounts which could be dangerous or nothing even in those amounts.It could have more negatives we dont know about just like anything else.
