Re: Coffee and Tea

Gift,

I love your screen name. I believe the association is with the caffeine in coffee and tea, which is thought to have estrogenic effects. Here is a link to another thread where Rich66 posted some research: http://her2support.org/vbulletin/sho...fee#post235360

Herbal teas are best to avoid caffeine, as even decaffinated coffee and tea contains some caffeine.

Best of luck with your treatment,

Hopeful

Red face Re: Coffee and Tea

My oncologist told me to limit caffeine so I stick to herbal tea. Mary L
