Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weights.

If you're drinking a lot of tea, you should be taking vitamin B1. Now, I'm not necessarily talking about herb teas. I'm talking about black tea, like Earl Grey tea, English breakfast tea,

English afternoon tea, and Irish breakfast tea. And there's quite a few others as well. But the question

is, why does tea deplete you of B1? Because black tea has large amounts of tannins, okay?

That's a chemical that inhibits the absorption of B1. And as a side note, green tea is actually

low in tannins, so that's totally fine. But black tea

is the one you have to watch out for because if you're consuming a lot of this tea through the day,

you can end up with a B1 deficiency. The first symptom of the B1 deficiency is nervous energy.

You may feel tense, you can't relax, kind of edgy. And all you need to do is just take some B1.

I would highly recommend getting your B1 from nutritional yeast or some other natural source,

not a synthetic B1. Now other things can also deplete you of thiamine or B1. That would be red

wine, grapes, coffee, sulfites, which actually is in dry fruit and

wine, and it's used as a preservative, consuming fruit that's not ripe yet, caffeine, alcohol,

and sugar all will deplete you of vitamin B1. Now, probably out of all these factors, sugar is probably at the

top the list as far as depleting you of vitamin B1. And there's an extra point about this caffeine

also has the ability to inhibit vitamin D and iron. All right, so I just wanted to get right to the point.

Give you this data and give you a solution.
