In reply to tea lowers cortisol??, posted by laima on October 8, 2006, at 11:10:49
Yeah I saw that study...
Well drinking tea can't be all that awful.
I have my doubts, well not doubts per se, but something...all this cortisol lowering.
But what are the effects re:mood?
I mean, do you actually feel like you have less cortisol? Does that mean you feel less stressed? Its so hard to objectify in an indiviual patient. I expect its hard to measure.
I mean, in people, the same person, you can never truely compare two stressful events - because time will have elapsed between the two events - and that in itself will influence the reponse to the second stressful event.
And mice...I mean...mice? Okay so they can measure these things in mice, but well, how applicable is that really to us humans? I mean, fine for broad stuff, but the finer stuff??? How can they judge the finer nuances of human experience re: cortisol stuff in mice???
Sigh.
