Comment on The top 12 health benefits of green tea – and the best kind to choose by Sarah Best.

Hi Cindy,
Some green tea varieties are lower in caffeine than others and you can Google this until you find one that appeals to you and that you can easily source. Another tip: make it with water that is very hot as opposed to boiling (by leaving the water to cool a little before pouring) and only brew the tea for 1-2 minutes.

This is not a brand I’ve looked into but as a general guideline, I’d recommend picking an organic green tea.

Hi again,

I unfortunately haven’t been to the United States since I discovered matcha green tea so I can’t advise as to best brands. The one you’ve been using is organic and the one piece of purchasing advice I would give is do definitely go for organic to ensure best quality and highest purity. On doing a quick web search I see there appear to be quite a few US brands offering organic matcha powder. Happy sampling!

So you grew up with a dad who didn’t know how to express love? Here’s how it could be affecting you today
Hi Nina,

Thank you so much for sharing that.

Yes, it is devastating to miss the love of a father.

And it’s not made any easier by the fact that this is so little talked about and understood.

But for what it’s worth, in the four years since I began writing about this topic I’ve heard from SO many women who feel just as you do.

That’s why I started my free email series on the father-daughter relationship, which is designed to answer the very questions you posed, and which I see you’ve signed up for. I hope you’ll find it helpful.

Thanks again for the share.

The deadly drug in your kitchen
Thank you for commenting, Miriam. I’d forgotten that I recommended agave in this article and I’ve made a note to revise it, as I have since revised my views – very much in line with what you wrote, in fact! I blogged about that here: http://www.sarahbesthealth.com/is-agave-syrup-a-healthy-alternative-to-sugar/ I still consider brown rice syrup a great choice since it’s essentially fructose free. As for research on the impact on emotional and mental wellbeing of consuming a high-sugar diet, I couldn’t agree more! And I personally think that what’s come out on this so far is just the tip of the iceberg πŸ™‚
