“But Nestle wasn't finding much success, according to better marketing. Unlike coffee-centric countries like Italy or Costa Rica, Japan has a rich history with tea, not coffee. So Nestle enlisted the help of Clotaire Rapai, a psychoanalyst.”

“And this has been one of the most successful strategies. Coffee and tea are great examples. They didn't originally make these chemicals for us. They're probably defense chemicals. But what's interesting about the defense chemicals that they produce is that they're not, they don't kill anything.”

“First of all, most of us don't think of it as a drug, but it is a drug to which most of us are addicted. And something like 90%, yeah, use it on a daily basis, whether it's in the form of coffee, tea, or Yerba Mate, or a couple of other substances. I interviewed Roland Griffith when I started writing about caffeine because before he got involved,”

“There are a lot of, and some of them are not tied to the caffeine, of course. There are also very valuable polyphenols in coffee and tea, which are a great boon to the microbiome. But the day I got back on caffeine, my first cup, it was just the best drug experience, better than any psychedelic experience I've had.”

“that's not really nutrition. I will drink a lot. I'll drink a lot of low calorie, zero calorie drinks, a lot of tea, that kind of stuff. But I can go without food for two weeks. It feels great. After the first three days, I'm over the hunger feeling. I can see on my monitor, which I've got one on here. The CGM.”

“I don't feel bloated at all. And I don't even have to go to the toilet that often, except for all the tea. But you know what I mean? And yeah, I feel energized. And I'm measuring myself. So I'm making sure I'm not overdoing it. This is not for everybody. If you're skinny and you've got barely any fat or you're elderly, it's not for you.”

“think you are. That's it. Yeah, I agree. And especially if you're, you're eating late, drinking coffee or tea late, uh, or matcha, caffeine and alcohol are big ones for bad sleep. Um, not just stress having a hot room or too many blankets is another mistake that a lot of people make.”

“I just remember very well. I don't know. Maybe Federer will see this podcast. He had a thermos. He had a thermos, and he was just drinking tea. And I remember he fought Ibrahim Magomedov. He was also a legendary fighter of ours, a heavyweight who fought in pride too.”

“His team was sitting separately over there. He was drinking tea. He just fought, walked back, poured some tea, and drank it. He had something to snack on with it, maybe honey or something. I just don't remember. And I was, wow, Federer is right here.”

“them. Um, so many of the antioxidant, uh, polyphenols, things that you get from berries, coffee, tea, chocolate, the carotenoids that make things orange, yellow, and red, um, lutein, zeaxanthin, astaxanthin. If it comes from seafood, that's, that's what makes a shrimp and salmon pink. Um, and then,”

“You know, I mean, caffeine. I think it's caffeine. But I don't know. But I wouldn't be surprised if there's other stuff in coffee that's contributing. Because, you know, like, tea doesn't seem to quite, like, deliver the goods like coffee does. No. But caffeine is actually, the plants are making it to kill bugs.”

“right? If you want to use a stimulant, we'd rather you use coffee, tea, so on and so forth, right? If you're going to use a pre-workout combination, the major downsides are we can't control dosage of individual, individual ingredients. For most of our people, that's a problem for me as a scientist.”

“learned a lot as I talk about everything. I, yeah, I learned a lot, but what I really, what I realized, you know, I like to drink hot tea, especially in the wintertime, like in the evening, herbal tea. And it is just detrimental to my sleep because I'll have to wake up and pee once or twice.”

“If you're causing the damage by drinking too much water at night, then let's stop that. Uh, drink tea pretty much right before bed, uh, at night. Generally, I'm okay with it. If it's not, then, then back it off. And if that means you have to go back to three hours, then that's what you got to have the tea at four o'clock in the afternoon, I guess.”
