Hey, your stomach contains hydrochloric acid. I think your stomach can handle a little bit of tea oil. :lol:

Sorry, Proinsias, you don't meet the principal qualification to receive an autopsy. Residing "On the couch" is not enough.

Your entire digestive tract is lined with some variation of epithelial tissue, and that has some of the highest cell turn over in the entire body. That means it's constantly replenishing itself with new cells. Even if the old cells did get stained (which they won't...things move too fast and are in too acidic of an environment to do so), the stain would be gone within a matter of hours or days.


This is true and descale your mugs as you would a coffee/tea pot


To get rid of tea stains on teaware without scrubbing your precious fingers off, all you have to do is either introduce a mild acid like vinegar or let the piece soak in hot water for a bit. Easy peasy.
Mary is so right!! Trust me! I see the inside of my intestines 3-4 times each year and I drink ALOT of tea!!(used to drink several pots of coffee a day too)
NO WAY NO HOW!! I have photos to prove it!! Crystal clean! (hmm well tissue pink)

She probably learned it in a biology course. If you take a biology course or two in college you will almost invariably go over the digestive system.

Right in one, Scruff. I pulled information mostly from my anatomy course on that one, but I did give a ring to my 3rd year Med School best friend for a little corroboration, too.
