Aw Cody, stop beating around the bush willya! Just kidding… The only paradox I’ve found in the no-caffeine thing is with green tea; it’s a documented anti-carcinogen recommended for hep c patients, but it contains an amount, albeit small, of caffeine. Waterspider

I was wondering if anyone knew for sure if it’s not good for someone on interferon/ribavirin treatment to avoid caffeine products. I know my dr said to avoid caffeine because it makes you pee more and maybe get dehydrated, but can’t an arguement be made that as long as you drink other things too that the caffeine would make you eliminate the toxins sooner/better. This all assumes you keep yourself hydrated. I drink as much as 2 glasses of ice tea a day….no coffee and very rarely a soda. Also, why are "clear" juices preferred. I would think that they don’t necessarily have to be clear as long as you are drinking water and some clear juices. robert
