And speaking of the effect of tea on teeth:

I have pretty much given up having coffee at home, and save it for a 'treat'
when I'm out. Now if I want a hot beverage in the morning, I usually have
green tea, sometimes the one with toasted brown rice in it (not paleo, I
know, but tres yummy).

Anyway, since I've been doing this, I've noticed that my mug has become
stained inside. It never got stained with the coffee! Does tea stain teeth
more than coffee? I love green tea, but I really HATE stained teeth. Yech!
Not to mention what it's doing to my favourite souvenir mug :-(.
