Do you drink tea?

I do not turn down tea when it is offered to me by friends sometimes to be polite but it carries many of the same problems, it has been associated with colon cancer, environmental degradation, British colonialism and a history of brutal subjugation of native peoples that makes me rather sad. For some people tea represents the best simple pleasure in their life, and I certainly do not want to take that away from them with guilt and finger-pointing, I am just trying to draw recommendations on eating based on what I have read of the science. I have also tried Yerba Maté and Roobois several times but usually I try to stick to tap water and eating local as much as possible.
