I think if you are getting joint pain, you should be consulting a physician to see which is the cause.
The teas that contribute to problems of the bone are mostly over grown leaves and those with twigs. Amounts of fluorides and aluminiums accumulate more in older parts of the plant. One issue with findings such as that cited in Daily Mail is that there is no discrimination as to the type of tea drunk. One prevalent tea product in the mass market is teabag, and the other, bottled tea drinks. Both are the lowest of all the low quality tea productions. Plantations sell their pruning wastes, ie what is mown from their tea hedges after plucking for better quality productions, including branches, clipped old leaves, etc as raw material to tea companies. Guess what you are drinking when you open your next plastic cap on that “Pure Green Tea” from Big Soft Drink Brand?
I used to have joint pain too, even when I was much younger. It has been tea (good ones, of course), as well as a dramatic change of life style, that turns things around for me. That is one reason why I dedicate so much of my life in advocating it.
