so Sassafras Tea is bad for me?

maybe i'll cut back a little then.  i thought when i stopped drinking 3 pots of coffee a day (down to 2 now!!!) that it would be enough of a health boost for me...

(cripes, seems like most of the things i like aren't good for me)

next you're going to say that my 12 step program doesn't work (i keep my coffee, beer, cigars, spirits, and junk food 12 steps apart so i can get a little exercise walking between them)
