How much are you drinking. I'm no chemist or doctor, but I don't think
sipping now and then is going to do anything; I suspect you have to
drink a fair amount of it. Where is the line between sipping and
drinking a fair amount? You've probably crossed it - for you - when you
notice it's doing more good than when you sip at it.
