Siberian ‘Ivan Tea’ is better than the additive-laden soda, the Russian president added
Russian President Vladimir Putin has derided Coca-Cola and suggested that ‘Ivan Tea’ – a medicinal brew made from Siberian fireweed – is a more “useful” refreshment. Coca-Cola pulled out of the Russian market in June over Moscow’s military operation in Ukraine.
Participating in the ‘Strong Ideas for New Times’ forum in Moscow on Wednesday, Putin was approached by Alexander Khlynov from the Union of Ivan Tea Producers, who proposed the government help boost production of the traditional Russian drink.
Putin agreed to bring Khlynov’s proposal to Minister of Agriculture Dmitry Patrushev, and gave the tea his personal approval. “Indeed, it is certainly more useful than Coca-Cola,” he remarked, “which is all chemicals.”

Water is all chemicals. So is Vodka.
Well, it WAS invented by a chemist, and a chemist was CEO even into the ‘90s. (Goizueta)
Everything is all chemicals. Even these bits on a certain level.
I don’t lecture the smokers on FR to quit so they’ll do the same for me on my eating habits. XD
Yeah - we know...
But so is whatever the concoction he (Putin) is being given to keep him upright...
There’s a reason some were making videos promoting Coke as a cleaner and de-rust product...
Whatever JoJo the circus boy is taking, isn’t working anymore.
I’m old enough to remember drinking a coke at a Drug Store soda fountain in my hometown when I was 5 and it was made right in front of you in a glass with coke syrup and seltzer . That was Coke !
There s a true soda fountain like that in Loves Park, IL on 251, a drug store of course. Glasses are tiny, like back then.

Ivan tea is remarkably rich in minerals and vitamins, placing it well above the majority of other herbal teas. It is caffeine-free and unlike regular black, green, or white teas, it does not contain taurine, purine, oxalic or uric acids.
Ivan Tea naturally carries 16 amino acids and a significant amount of macronutrients, such as potassium, sodium, calcium, and phosphorus. It is rich in vitamin B and contains more vitamin C than lemon. It is also celebrated for its anti-inflammatory properties, so it is recommended for people with gastritis, colitis, gastric ulcers, and flatulence. The bioflavonoids in the tea increase the activity of antioxidant enzymes in the small intestines, liver, lungs, and the small bowel, which makes them tea an effective natural detoxifier. A concentrated brew of Ivan Tea remedies food or alcohol poisoning.
Coke does work cleaning your windshield ,LOL
Sounds pretty good!
Sodas were never “healthy” to begin with. But once they started down the saccharin, aspartame, and HFCS path, they convinced people that sodas made with these and other sugar substitutes were healthy/healthier.
Got news for you, Putin and all you “natural” suckers.
EVERYthing is chemicals.
You certainly can get diabetes from Coke.
You can also clean your car battery terminals with it.
I’d try it...
