Anticarcinogenic?
I know of no actual science saying any component of Rooibos is anticarcinogenic. If that's to remain in the article, we need to come up with some kind of reference for it. As far as I can see, all of the common herb tea chemicals thought to be anticarcinogenic are absent in Rooibos. It does have some antioxidants, but if that's the only sign, it should be cited directly, without drawing the anticarcinogen conclusion. Kaz 18:45, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
A PubMed search for Aspalathus linearis finds about 20 articles, the first of which [1] seems (based on the abstract) to describe a study on tumorigenesis suppression effects of herbal extracts in mouse tissue, including rooibos. This might be a good starting point for a literature search, if someone is interested. Jks July 6, 2005 18:51 (UTC)
reference links
I replaced the commercial reference links at the bottom of the page with links to noncommercial sources. This seems to be the trend for several of the tea-related pages, many of which had links to greentealovers.com that have now been removed because the site is primarily a commercial sales vehicle.
Feb. 18 2007 - Two more links to africanredtea,com (commercial site) were added to "external links" - I think people from africanredtea,com and grentealovers,com are spammers. Should they be blacklisted ??
Khoisan name
What do the khoi and the san call the Rooibos?
Add info on green vs. red rooibos, please
Information about benefits and side effects of green rooibos would be appreciated. It's unfermented, more fiddly to bring to market, and costs more. Ocdncntx (talk) 01:19, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
- Why is it of interest? WP:UNDUE. If you have a proposed statement plus a WP:RS source, then post it here. Zefr (talk) 01:33, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
