If you are into herbal teas, you can substitute a mug or two of just about any herbal tea with no caffeine for one or two of the glasses of water per day, since the herbal tea is mostly plain water and may only have a few calories, or none at all. You can also drink decaffeinated tea or coffee, as long as you don't add sugar or coffee whitener.

Black tea is fine as long as you only use Stevia or Xylitol for sweetening. Green tea would be preferred as it has healing properties.

There are greater amounts of caffeine in coffee than tea. At this time, in healthy adults the preponderance of evidence suggests that moderate caffeine intake up to 400 mg/d is not associated with increased risk of heart disease, hypertension, osteoporosis or high cholesterol. (See chart below to see how much caffeine you may be ingesting.) Some people are more sensitive to caffeine's effects than others and may feel effects at lower doses.

It is not the carbohydrates in tea or coffee that counts. It is an analogue of caffeine in tea that does about what caffeine does (not as potent). What tea and coffee do is stimulate the secretion of insulin, which is needed to store fat. All diet, exercise, or health information presented by Comfort Clean is for education purposes only.

Yes, as long as it does not contribute additional calories to your daily intake (meaning no sugar or cream) and you drink the required amount of water.

Tea and coffee are freely allowed on the GiP diet. You can use the milk from your daily allowance of 1/3 pint of semi-skimmed milk. Any milk in addition to that, as well as sugar needs to be counted as on the GiPs table. Artificial sweeteners are free. Back to top

Green tea naturally has approximately 15 to 50 mg of caffeine per cup. Coffee has 80-200 mg/cup. Black Tea has 40-90 mg/cup.

We recommend drinking a minimum of 64 oz (8 glasses) of water per day. This can be in the form of regular water, flavored water (like propel, fruit 2 O), decaffeinated diet soda, any of the diet fruit juices (like diet V8) and crystal light. The water helps to keep you hydrated and helps to "flush" everything out of your system. You are allowed to drink caffeinated drinks, like diet soda, coffee, tea, but we like to limitthem to 2 per day.

Perhaps you’ve never been a tea drinker before, but you’ve decided to give it a whirl. Or maybe you already drink standard varieties of tea, but you’d like to try black tea for a change of pace. In any case, you’re wondering how you should go about drinking this unusual full-bodied beverage. In the early ‘80s, coffee flavor choices were minimal and less-than-desirable to consumers.

Coffee is allowed in moderation. The diet’s handbook has a short segment on allowed beverages and how much do drink from each of them.

We recommend that you try not to drink coffee or other caffeinated beverages during the Neera Super Cleanse. Coffee is very toxic to the body, as are most caffeinated beverages. Since you are trying to get rid of toxins during the Neera Super Cleanse drinking coffee during the diet is counter productive. If you really feel the need for caffeine, tea is better than coffee, and green tea is better than black tea.

Although heating will destroy the enzymes, microörganisms and some of the vitamins which are found in Kombucha Tea, many of the other components remain stable.

Some people only drink 4 ounces once or twice daily others are drinking 30 ounces or more per day without any ill effects.

Michael Roussin, Director of the Kombucha Consumer Research Group ™ says: "Until today (4 Jan 1996), I would have recommended that Kombucha not be given to pre-puberty children. The reasons are iffy, and propounded in several books and papers, but the basis for those iffy suggestions are not valid, therefore, the suggestions are not valid either. In short, there is no reason (except concerns about caffeine) not to give Kombucha to children.

No. Coffee is decaffeinated with toxic solvents, like methylene chloride and ethyl acetate. In theory, these solvents shouldn't remain after decaffeination, but they often do. Also, decaffeinated coffee still contains caffeine, in varying degrees. If you want a hot drink, try hot apple juice or warm milk - they're delicious.

Coffee is fine as long as you only use Stevia or Xylitol for sweetening. Green tea would be preferred as it has healing properties.

With normal-high consumption levels, 2-6 cups of tea a day, tea contains acceptable levels of fluoride and will not cause any health problems. Actually the fluoride in tea contributes to strong healthy tea and bone and greatly decreases your chances of osteoporosis.

Probably more. I make a full pot of Earl Gray tea (Twinings brand, loose) every morning and slurp down 4-6 cups. For some reason, my husband and I never fell into the morning coffee habit, although we order coffee for breakfast in restaurants and we sometimes make it on Sunday morning. To us, coffee has always been an after-dinner treat, something to put lots of milk in and enjoy with or instead of dessert.
