Health Benefits of Green Tea: A Natural Boost for Mind and Body

I wondered about the fluoride in green tea too. I contracted something strange in Thailand last year (turned out to be salmonella typhii followed by a two week bout of crippling arthritis - a side effect of salmonella) but as the doctors in NZ had no idea what it was or how to treat it, I did alot of research based on my symptoms including fluoride poisoning (i'd had dental work in Thailand with a course of anti-biotics so it was a possibility, and the symptoms were similar to fibromyalgia). My friend drinks green tea all day long - is addicted to it I would say, and knowing what I know now, I would say her dreadful brain fog is due to the fluoride in the GT. Our town water is unfluoridated and she's on tank (rain) water at home. She drinks two cups before/with breakfast then more cups throughout the day and into the evening. I have mentioned the brain fog connection to her but there's no way she's giving up the green tea - and with all the positive research who can blame her? She's always been a very smart woman but the last few years has quite literally been dazed and confused. She blames stress but I'm convinced it's the tea and she's so addicted to it if we go overseas she takes boxes of it with her, yet can't figure out whether to turn left or right from an elevator to find a hotel room we've been staying in for a week.
