What does carnivore bro science say about drinking tea, specifically yerba mate?

If it's not from an animal it's not carnivore. There are no carnivore police either so, you do you.

The safest way to get nutrients from plant leaves is via a tea or stock. Cooking tends to neutralize plant toxins & plant fibres are filtered out.

Yerba Mate is a nice tea when fasting or when giving up coffee. It used to make me feel more alert in the afternoons but never seemed to affect my sleep.

Yerba caffeine gives me euphoria and I love it. How about you?

I get a nice but subtle buzz from it.

Feels different to coffee and more noticeable than black tea.

I wouldn't call it euphoria though.

No issues for most. No sugar though! Same for coffee.☕️🫖

As a rule of thumb anything from a plant or fungus contains toxins. Whether it's worth it for you to ingest them is very individual but a good way to approach it is to try a sufficiently long period of perfect carnivore and then follow it by a period when you just add the tea. Compare results then.

This doesn't account for chronic damage (so e.g. if you did this with a high-oxalate food you could get kidney stones later but can't know based on that test) but better than nothing.

I know I read somewhere mate helps digestion of meat because of¿ uric acid?

I heard it was natural for gauchos drinking mate because they only ate meat

I was searching online and found nothing about what I mentioned.

But it says it's good for digestion, good for feeling satiated in meals and about uric acid I read it produces it or contains it.

The uric acid I read it can be bad and I read it can be good. Too much can lead to arthritis. And in due quantities it is a powerful antioxidant.

I don't know really.

Mate is being the companion of gauchos for centuries and they ate mostly red meat. Cannot be a casual thing you know. Because gauchos are mostly from a region in which yerba mate doesn't grow so it has to be imported. So the correlation might be purposeful.

Contains quercetin and kaempferol. Both profoundly beneficial (cancer prevention; anti-inflamatory; immune benefits; anti-oxidative; etc.). Also inhibits Interleukin-6, which is implicated in spike-o-pathy.

Any city with yerba mate available in glass bottles gets +8pts. Organic pomegranate +14pts.
