Default an herbal tea that is tea-like in taste?

Hi Shen,

Might run that mix past him and see what he says -- though as far as the the
"Natural Tea Flavor", I should think that the anti-oxidants play a certain
part in tea's characteristic taste.

And isn't Beet Root a source of sugar? (Another theory he embraces is that
metastisc disease is aggravated by carbohydrates, the less complex the
worse. Also certain growth factors are indicated in cancer return, like
vitamin B1 supplementation, the growth hormones they feed to American cattle
& chickens on factory farms, etc.)

But the prospect of drinking as much as I need of something that tastes like
tea is a powerful inducment to action . Thanks.
