Tea: Black or Green; Milk or no milk?

[Guest guest]

We all know it. But the questions are: Can we take

black tea if the green one is not available. Also

this: Can we take it with milk?

The reason is that tea alone would promote oxalic acid

stones in the kidney which are dissolved by

milk-calcium and thrown out in urine. Hulda Clark

advocates milk and a research group in New Zealand

also supported milk in tea.
