Scientists say that some teas have almost lethal doses of
Americiumfluoride in them, so better drink coffee, because
Amerciumfluoride is not very healthy.

Hi,
how do you know that coffee is totaly free of your deadly americium
fluoride or it doesn't contain some still more deadly but yet
undiscovered poison? What do you think about, say, plutonium fluoride?

I just did a quick google search on Tea and "Americium Fluoride" and got nada. Methinks
what we have here is propaganda from the Juan Valdez* camp!

1. I don't like coffee.
2. Which scientists? It sounds too much like the ubiquitous "they."
3. I don't like coffee.
4. "Some teas have almost lethal doses" means that others don't.
5. I don't like coffee.
6. Which teas have almost lethal doses?
7. I don't like coffee.
8. Why are you advocating only coffee? Why not water, juice, cocoa, and

9. I don't like coffee.
10. Where is it documented that people die from drinking Americium-laced
tea?
11. I don't like coffee.
12. Which studies showed lab rats/mice dying from drinking Americium-laced
tea?
13. I don't like coffee.

And, finally, just to be sure you don't miss it...

I don't like coffee.

Given that Americium Fluoride is radioactive, if there's enough of it
in tea to be lethal, then we've got bigger problems than heavy metal
poisoning.

You'll always miss 100% of the shots you don't take, and,
statistically speaking, 99% of the shots you do.

I know, its a huge problem. That is why I always test my teas for alpha
radioactivity.
If I found a tea radioactive - I do not drink it. But I do not throw it
away - it makes perfect Christmas present to people I do not like.
Since I adopted that strategy, I have fewer and fewer unpleasant people
around me.

Cheers,

Sasha.

That's why I -always- do an alpha frisk of my tea before I drink. No

Oh I found the added alpha particles add to the flavour. Great in winter

I think maybe Bruno was referring to the new "Aurora Borialis" line of
glow-in-the-dark teas by Celestial Seasonings.

Interestingly enough Americium, when mixed with flouride, is reported
to produce a green liquid, which would make it the perfect murder
weapon for any atomic physicist with access to it looking to
assassinate a green tea drinker who doesn't notice a bubbling froth in
his or her tea. The perfect crime.

All you wiseacres on this NG should be more respectful of a well-intentioned
and possibly important post like this. The main domestic use of Americium
(isotope 241) is as an ionization source on thin sheets of foil in smoke
detectors. Some of these are made in China. If the same factory makes smoke
detectors and Pu-erh, it is not inconceivable that the "leaves" could get
mixed. Fluoride, of course, enters when workers with good oral-care habits
but otherwise lacking in a sense of hygiene spit into the steamers. I think
the guy's onto something, and we should be more attentive to such important
alerts.

From an Oxford University loo, ca. 1979:
"Be alert."
"Be aloof. We already have enough lerts."

Ask Bruno Beam before
The only thing I have found on the internet is this nonsensical page
from google's cache
http://www.google.it/search?q=cache:...it&lr=&strip=1
I haven't understood a word that is written inside of it. Millions of
pop-us start (of which sites i don't know).
It looks like the usual terror information that keep going around the
net: cancerogenic components in shampoos, in toothpastes, etc.
When I will see a decent link about it I will begin to consider this
problem. In Cina they have been able to hide SARS, then it should be
something more dangerous than americium in tea the we don't know.
It sound to me like a coffee maniac revenge ehehe


.....oh, I don't like coffee too

Actually, this "info" may play a positive role in the lives if our readers.
I always maintained that it is good to buy a Geiger counter for your home
while nobody needs them, rather than hope that the government take care of
you after the FACT.
Today a decent ex-civil defense Geiger counter can be bought on e-bay for
$30-50 (and pay attention - you have to do some reading before you buy) and
it's well worth it.

Actually, this "info" may play a positive role in the lives if our readers.
I always maintained that it is good to buy a Geiger counter for your home
while nobody needs them, rather than hope that the government take care of
you after the FACT.
Today a decent ex-civil defense Geiger counter can be bought on e-bay for
$30-50 (and pay attention - you have to do some reading before you buy) and
it's well worth it.

I can certainly see how a smoke detector manufacturer and tea packer
could easily be one in the same. The technological overlap is obvious.
It's well known that in China, just like in other parts of the world,
tea producing regions are also famous for their smoke detectors.

A sense of logic like this could easily secure a position as chief
legal counsel for a major tobacco company.

I know you were just joking, though, in an incredibly subtle way.
