Which has more acid, tea or coffee?!


Question:

Which has more acid, tea or coffee?

which has more acid?


Answers:
I Think Tea...That's what my Stomach tells me. Tanic Acid I believe.

FYI:

Tea - research shows that green tea may prevent cancer, restrict blood cholesterol, control high blood pressure, lower blood sugar, suppress aging, deter food poisoning prevent and treat skin disease, stop cavities and fight viruses

while:

Coffee- no research was found to suggest that coffee may enhance health. Upon reviewing the characteristics of coffee the presence of carbohydrates, minerals, and phenolic acid suggest the possibility of potential health benefits but apparently not substantial enough to be noteworthy

No reference to acid in the tea so I'd say from the above information that coffee has more acid.

tea contains tannic acid. if one is a heavy tea drinker, they should avoid eating ice cream--it reacts with the acid & causes gall stones or kidney stones or summthin like that---read about it a long time ago

Both coffee and tea are categories of beverages. Each type of coffe can be brewed to different strengths and each type of tea can be steeped to different strengths. So, there is no categorical answer.

I did extensive research on this very topic early in college. My findings are as follows:

One can drink several pots of tea with no discomfort, while that fourth of fifth cup of coffee can bring a grown man to his knees faster than Darth Vader's force choke.

Definitely coffee.

vinegar!!

coffee!
