Life, Dr Eve Glazier & Dr Elizabeth Ko, Published on 05/03/2024
» DEAR DOCTORS: I love decaffeinated black tea and drink a lot of it. Since I don't add sugar or milk, I have always felt it was healthy. Now I'm questioning that assumption because I've heard that the decaffeination process can make the tea unhealthy. Should I be cutting back?
