Welcome to the Doctor Burg, Healthy Keto and Intermittent Fasting Podcast.

Now, your host, the man taking your health to a whole new level.

Doctor, Eric Burg.

Now, there are three really important things that you should know if you drink a lot of tea.

Now, normally, when you think about tea, you think about something that's pretty healthy.

And I mean, it's better than coffee, right?

And people drink a lot of tea.

In fact, the great majority of the planet drinks tea.

But there are three things that are just really important to know if you are a tea drinker.

Now, certain teas are high in something called tannins.

Now, especially if it's black tea, like English breakfast tea, those teas are really high in tannins.

Now, green tea is very low in tannins.

But when you're exposed to tannins, there's a couple of things that happen.

Number one, tannins tends to bind or keylate, iron, zinc, and calcium.

So if you're drinking a lot of black tea, you're binding up your iron, your zinc, and your calcium.

And then you may start experiencing symptoms of those minerals.

But also tannins block the absorption of thymine, B1.

And B1, from IV point, is one of the most important vitamins.

I've done a lot of videos on B1.

But if you're deficient in B1, you're going to get anxiety.

You're going to have nervous tension.

When you go to sleep at night, you might have more vivid dreams or even nightmares or restless leg syndrome.
