Tea
1. Anti-thiamine action and thiamine inactivation. This means that tea blocks the action of Vitamin B1.
2. Contains fluorine at substantial levels and also fluor-aluminium complexes.
3. Inhibits absorption of iron, especially from cereals. High levels of Vitamin C minimize this action.
4. Has a diuretic action, which, as a consequence, upsets Na/K balance in favour of sodium.
5. There is some evidence of carcinogenic effects from tea tannins.
6. Tea tannins affect the heart and can cause heart-muscle lesions in rats.
7. Some statistical evidence links tea-drinking in expectant mothers with congenital abnormalities in their babies
Coffee
1. Affects stomach secretions, including HCI - stomach acid.
2. Affects acid/base equilibrium in the body.
3. Upsets electrolyte balance, especially Na and K and upsets water balance - a definite diuretic.
4. Like tea, has anti-thiamine action.
5. Increases atherosclerosis.
6. Affects behaviour.
7. Gives rise to methylitrosourea that may be a cause of bladder tumours.
8. Adversely affects blood fatty acids and blood sugar control.
9. Some work suggests a link with teratomas, ie tumours of the unborn foetus.
10. Has been linked with duodenal ulcers.
11. Has a mutagenic action. ie causes abnormal germ cells - viz sperm and ova.
12. Inhibits iron absorption.
13. Produces nitrosamines, which are known cancer-causing agents.
14. Statistically, high coffee consumption is correlated to the incidence of carcinoma of the pancreas.
15. De-mineralises the tissues.
