Why does black tea make me feel sick?

antioxidant benefits
sonny n asked:


I have enjoyed drinking my tea white for years, until recently, when I heard that scientist have discovered that you do not get the antioxident and good for your heart health benefits that tea is promoted to contain once you add milk. The reason for this is because the protein from the milk blocks the antioxidants from doing it’s good work.
I have been drinking my tea black for two days now and it has made me feels so sick five minutes after drinking it that it makes me retch quite violently, I either feel cold and shakey or hot and sweaty. Can someone please tell me if they experience this and what causes it.
Should I perservere with it? I don’t want to drink my tea white if I’m not getting the same health benefits as drinking it black.
Thank you to anyone who can help.

epic_laydown asked:


normally, the steep time is 2-5 minutes depending on what kind of tea it is…but if it is oversteeped, is there anything harmful about this? any benefit?

could you be getting more antioxidants or ECGC if you steeped it for that long? Thanks for your input

chemistry question please help?

lefty asked:


Conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) are anticarcinogenic, antimutagenic, and antioxidant fatty acids found in beef and dairy products. To receive the benefits of CLA, 3 g are required daily, yet a typical person consumes only 10% of this value. An oil rich in CLA con be obtained by converting the linoleic acid in soy oil into CLA by using a UV photo-irradiation system with an iodine catalyst. A water jacketed reaction vessel maintains the reaction temperature at approximately 25 C. The concentration of linoleic acid in soy oil starts at 1.80 mol/L. For this process, the rate law for the formation of a particularly beneficial CLA is:

rate = 2.85×10-4M^-1hr^-1[linocleic acid]^2

If one performs this process over a 2 day period, and one wants to produce enough CLA for one person for a week, then what volume of soy oil is needed?
