An interesting find ... Green Tea 4

So I was writing another paper for the legalization for cannabis, and interestingly I found that Green Tea, which is highly well-known for its health benefits, contains a Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG); it's an ester for Gallocatechol, and, according to this study, has a moderate affinity to the human cannabinoid receptors.

Did you know many areas of PA do not fluoridate their water? There are still places that do not add it so the only fluoride is the naturally occurring fluoride.

That's what 'they' say, but I call bullshit on the matter. Not only is fluoride in your water, but chlorine as well. I'm sure we all know not to water our plants with tap water, causing an imbalance in our pH.

Well if "they" also say that the water IS fluoridated why do you believe them? So you believe them when they say they do it, then do not believe them when they say they don't. Right.

Because there is evidence and testing done to PROVE that water is fluoridated. It's fluoridated naturally anyway as you said previously.

If they water plants with fluoridated water the fruit will have fluoride concentrations in it. Though honestly I do not know what fruits absorb more and what fruits absorb less. Basically everyone should be distilling their water anyways so it is moot.

Well I wrote this out already so here ha.
I figure as long as you make up for the electrolytes elsewhere you would be fine, no? I too heard drinking distilled water is bad because of course a lot of electrolytes are used in metabolic pathways to carry otherwise impermeable materials through membranes. I guess doing your own ground water thing would be cool if you lived somewhere away from contamination. I just find it odd after WWII we find out Nazies gave Jews fluoridated water to make them docile and like 10 years later it is the best invention ever and safe and good for the kids.
BRAWNDO! It's got electrolytes!

IDK if using other sources for electrolytes is good when drinking distilled water. The debate still continues on that subject, since some people think it's a great way to detox. IDK, I'd google it.

i have always heard that the main reason you shouldnt drink lots of distilled water is cause instead of having minerals in it, they will be leached from your body into the water.

Possibly, green tea does have a moderate affinity to the cannabinoid receptors, and that could be why you have an effect. Scientists believe it could be the reason why green tea has so many health benefits.
Personally, I don't think I feel any 'effects' from green tea, maybe I feel a little more 'awake', due to the small amount of caffeine, but I can't say that I get 'high' from it, or feel any sort of buzz, except maybe a calming effect. I think the calming effect could be due to the L-theanine that is in green tea though.
But it certainly puts the 'green' in green tea.

That guy may seem like a douche, but he is a revolutionary when it comes to the tea industry. He helped promote the popularity of organic green tea. Most of the Chinese weren't even able to buy tea directly from the farmers, but this guy changed that. And the funny thing is, I don't even know his name.
Oh yeah, I should have known, it's David Lee Hoffman. Hoffman's seem to bring a lot of to the world.
