The drinking water standards are based on consuming 8 glasses a day for a lifetime. If one does that, there is a one-in-a million chance you will develop cancer. If you drink tap water alone, there is a one-in-a thousand chance you will develop cancer via THMs (trihalomethanes) after drinking 8 glasses a day for a lifetime.

And you’ve heard of instant tea,
And now you guys just feast your eyes on little old instant me!

The woman said she drank 1 to 2 gallons of double-strength instant tea throughout the day, which prompted researchers to test for fluoride content in several brands of instant iced tea mixes available in grocery stores.

Huh???? The means she drank 16 to 32 cups of instant tea every day? What is she - an elephant or a camel? What boloney!!!

Apparently she was using the product incorrectly as well.

Well, I drink almost a gallon of tea a day during the winter, & about 1.5 gals in the summer months. I don't drink tap water, 'cuz I can taste the chlorine & it makes me gag...it tastes like I'm drinking bleach! I don't like coffee or alcohol...but I jokingly refer to myself as a "tea-aholic".

That's it. I'm firing all my tea drinkers. I'm not going to get stuck with the health insurance costs of these tea drinkers. You want to drink tea? Find a sucker who'll pay the tab for such risky behavior.

I'm going to go have a cigar now.
