Default Nano technology in teas

Yes, they did say nanoparticle selenium enriched tea was beneficial to
HIV patients. But without a scientific paper or link to another
webiste with the same info, who knows what to believe?

Exactly; and that's my point. There are some agents that want to bring
tea into the technological age. But maybe that's really not what's
best for what is a natural product. We drink tea because it's natural.
Therefore, we don't want it technologically enhanced just for the sake
of technology.

You should point out to them that it's not good to just blindly tout
all the health benefits without stating the contraindications, for
example people who get stomach ulcers (stay away from TGY) or even any
tea, since it could worsen the situation. People who are prone to
gallstones as well should not drink too much tea; etc. The list goes
on. From a legal perspective, as a business, you want to minimize your
exposure to risk. So it's not good to gloss over the risks of over-
consumption of tea. It would also be smarter to position your business
as someone who cares about the customer's health and well-being rather
than just put out the message "here, drink this it will cure
everything you got; and buy lots of it because it's good for you".
