Coffee anyone ?

[greybeard]

Thank you for coffee.

Anyone here in BYH affected by winter storm Diego?

Yes, I was, but that was before it became glam chic and got named.

Was your place flooded? Sorry I don't recall seeing any post about it.

Most likely anyone in Virginia and North Carolina. BYC member in southern VA had 2 feet. Didn't lose power thankfully. I think parts of Tennessee might have had snow or ice.

Go back to bed.

Too much snow.

Sorry for the mess here. @Alaskan was supposed to be in charge of cleanup, but 'Al' has been busy working on his church. I brewed an evening pot in case anyone is interested. Sorry, don't have any carbohydrates.

Which method are you using to reduce the saffrole from it?

The "I drank the tea and it's gone" method. Seriously? I see no harmful effects from an occasional cup of sassafras tea.

It (safrole) occurs naturally in a variety of spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and black pepper, and herbs such as basil. In that role, safrole, like many naturally occurring compounds, may have a small but measurable ability to induce cancer in rodents. Despite this, the effects in humans were estimated by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to be similar to risks posed by breathing indoor air or drinking municipally supplied water.

I also found publications that claimed a cup of sassafras teas contained 4.5 times the amount that researchers think to be poisonous.

If that is true, then I should have been dead a long, long time ago.

Gonna take more than a bunch of nasty old safroles to take your mean, ornery, "old" self out...

Dad-blamed right about that! Maybe why I am getting cranky in my "old" age, all them saffroles trickling through my liver, might be poking holes in it like liver flukes......
