Hold your horses!
That's a less than credible source - no offense Jag :hatsoff:. It should also be noted that the folks at http://www.buismans.cc/tannic.html are trying to sell you something.
A little digging around will offer other facts and perspectives about the 'dangers' of tannic acid. :eek:
It was the first site I saw that simply verified what I already know, Shifty. Choose to believe me or don't. No offense but I couldn't give a shit less.
Let's go ahead and see the results of your "digging" if you want to challenge what I say about tannic acid and GERD, OK?
Thanks. I choose not to believe you, based on my own experience and the fact that millions of coffee drinkers around the world don't appear to suffer the effects of tannic acid. :eek:
Feel free to chill Jagger - there's no need to get all upset and uppity. If you want to put stock in a website that looks like a 6 year old built it, go right ahead. And while you're at it, why not spend some $$$ on that useless shit they're selling?
My "digging" determined that this is the only site to verify what you claim to already know.
Hey, like I said, fine by me if you don't believe me. Millions of people around the world drink coffee....that is true. Millions of people also have GERD. Choose to draw a correlation or not.
And I'm not upset and "uppity" :1orglaugh I was just jousting with MP as usual and you got caught in the crossfire. Sorry if I offended you, sir. :hatsoff:
As I mentioned, I threw that site up as the first one that mentioned GERD and tannic acid. In all candor, I didn't bother to read what they are selling and personally don't care (pssst....the coffee companies are trying to sell you stuff too!).
Also I don't know how hard you "dug" since I was able to find a plenty of sites on Google that back me up. Here's one that is perhaps more amenable to you:
http://coffeeacidity.com/coffee-acidity/prevent-acidity-with-low-acid-coffee-brands/
Anyway....enjoy your coffee by all means and, again, sorry if you were offended by my comments. :glugglug:
Whats all this then?Coffee - Blech. Tea for me every time.
Whats all this then?
Hip Hip!
I say jolly good show Old chap!
I was serious the first time!
Have I become so sarcastic that no one takes me cereal anymore?
I was concerned about those things you posted about tannic acid.
especially the nutrition parts.
I want to get the most out of everything I eat especially my protien and i drink about 3 cups per day.
And i wasnt offended no way no how.
Its not like me to shoot the messenger.
Actually Thanks for the info.
Just about to make myself a cup. We have a pretty good range of instant coffee here in the UK!
