Hi!

Just ran across the following article & thought it might be of interest:

http://www.applesforhealth.com/Healt...ng/tgbbi4.html

The gist of it is that compounds in tea (black, green & oolong) help the body use insulin better by 15x.

I've also read elsewhere on this board & on the internet that moderate tea intake increases your chance of pregnancy (because of antioxidants etc)

I'm so glad I found a good excuse to drink chai!

How much tea would we need to consume?

peppermint tea

i've been drinking green tea for over a yr now, not sure if it's doing me any good. i was using 5 tea bags a day as it can improve egg quality. after i started gluc xr, i cut it down to 1-2 tea bags as gluc can improve egg quality as well.

I was drinking lots of green tea for a few months before I got pregnant, I don't drink it now though as I can't drink anything hot .. strange I know!
