My husband and I recently got turned on too loose leaf teas. I wanted to start drinking the green tea to add on to my weight loss regemine. And I’ve been looking into the flavored loose leaf green teas. Mostly “Vanilla Green tea” from Adagio. Do you reckon that would make the tea less effective, or not efffect it at all? Like I said I’m new to the loose leaf teas, (I’ve never been much of a tea drinker until I tried my first cup of loose leaf tea last weekend. ) Any help would be very much appreciated!

My grandma has high blood sugar and her doctor prescribed her a low dosage of Metformin to lower it. I just read on the internet that ginseng tea can lower blood sugar, so I recommended that she start consuming some. But, I want to know if there is any kind of drug interaction between ginseng (in a tea-like form – shredded ginseng submerged in hot water) and the drug Metformin. If anyone has any info about this, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
