How to raise Backyard Chickens: Re: [CHICKENS-101] Iced Tea Attn. Cathryn OT

The tea itself reacts with the Coumadin, as do a lot of herbal items I have used in the past. But fortunately I'm not on Coumadin.

What is it about the tea that unbalances you? Is it the caffeine or some property of tea itself? Could it be the chemicals in the artificial sweetener, if that's what you use? (Splenda isn't a chemical cocktail like the others.)

I currently only drink sugar free, decaffeinated iced tea, but I have a friend with a lot of sensitivities (she has MS), and she has switched to herbal teas and uses stevia as the sweetener. Since the teas are herbal and stevia is an herb, there's no chemicals for her body to react to.
