Blackberry tea and pee

Blackberry tea can affect your urine colour/color when taken in normal amounts. Although used by alternative medical practitioners to treat diarrhea, blackberry tea in large doses can also cause stomach upset, including nausea and vomiting. If you are concerned about a condition you are aiming to treat with blackberry tea, see your doctor. Taking any alternative-medicine stuff in large amounts can be a mistake. People have died from drinking too much carrot juice for example. Sometimes people think (if a little of this does me some good, then a lot of it will do me a lot of good. Often it does not work like that.

I need a link on the carrot juice thing. I knew you could get a letal dose of Vitmin A from eating polar bear so Ive put that species off my diet(maybe just special occasions like a potlatch)

Well, I did some checking, and the only story I can come up with is this one... I am doubtful now because Wikipedia says you can't get hypervitaminosis A from beta carotene. Some sources from since that time say the guy must have died from the vitamin A tablets he was also taking. So I might have to eat crow over this. Would that make me sick, do you think?

did I mention that its eating the liver of the polar bear that will kill ya. Still, Id keep my monthly portion of polar bear meat at about 8 oz or less

Polar bears are under extreme environmental stress. Do your part in thinning the population.

No, but it appears in stories of doomed polar expeditions etc. Also moose liver can do it.

I've got peculiar eyes, easily found on a2k re ossobuco, but by now they are just my eyes.

Many years ago and far away, now, I was suggested to use lots of vitamins. I also remember being a kid who needed to scarf carrots. On the other hand, maybe not.
I am not your biggest carrot fan. I also remember there are limits.

By now I've been medically aware.

It was around the 70s that the discovery was made-or at least popularized-that while vitamin A tablets can be harmful in excess, the beta carotene in carrots gets converted to vitamin A by the body as it needs it, and the rest is excreted.

I would point out that former 1960s radical Jerry Rubin went on a health kick and during that time, he drank so much carrot juice his legs reportedly turned orange. I don't know if he supplemented with vitamin A tablets. He didn't die of that, though, he later committed suicide.

Tea is a diuretic so it will make you pee more just like Budweiser & the like.

Blackberry tea usually does not contain actual tea, which is the Camellia plant. It is usually herbal and caffeine-free.

Thanks I stand corrected.

Blackberries are nutritious fruit but there are some disadvantages on eating. In few cases, these berries can cause some side effects such as changing urine color. A pale yellow color is the sign for healthy urine. Blackberry tea can cause red or light brown urine. If your urine color is like that means you might be suffering from some serious illness. It is best to consult your doctor and seek medical advice.

I love this.
