Hi Renee, The information that I found was from a website called, www.bloodbook.com This is what it said about tea...
"Tea contains tannin that could inhibit the absorption of iron." I think everything has a balance. Simple, balanced nutrition with an occasional splurge is my philosophy. When I see what people put into their shopping carts at the grocery store, I'm stunned! -Junk, Junk, and more Junk. Then, I say to myself, "How the heck did I get CML?"...I've never eaten the way some people do. I still drink green tea on occasion. I'm not sure if the tannin level on green is the same as for black teas.. Something to look up I suppose.
