Guest guest Posted November 12, 2001 Report Share Posted November 12, 2001 Here is what I recommend: Yerba mate. You can get a wealth of info from the web site at http://www.guayaki.com Briefly: yerba mate is very popular in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay where it is called the 'drink of the gods'. It contains caffeine, but apparently of a different form than in coffee, because it usually doesn't have the effect of coffee. I turned to it because I have been a coffee addict for 30 years. Since menopause, my body is really telling me strongly - No Coffee. I get hot flashes just looking at the coffee. And coffee would mess with my mind. (make me obsess). With yerba mate, I feel like I get a jolt of energy, but no nervousness, no hot flash. Plus it contains *many* nutrients. The web site says 'positive effects on the immune system" "antioxidants", naturally stimulating. The best thing IMO, this particular company is dedicated to preserving the rain forest and the indigenous people thru sustainable agriculture.
