“I’ve been offered a job at a MLM company that makes vitamin supplement-type drinks especially for people in Japan. My concern was that I noticed that in one of the products, they have coffee extracts and green tea extract. Do you know if the extracts are bad like normal tea and coffee?” (Richard)
The only statement I have seen is that hot drinks refers to tea and coffee. I have not read anywhere whether they have to be in drink form or not.

There seems to be a ton of confusion when it comes to knowing the WOW and what is and isn’t accept for a TR as I have gotten different answers from Bishops and Leaders. So my question is are coffee and tea extracts against the WOW? If so, how is that determined? Is green tea extract against the WOW? Are blended “cold” drinks such as BR Blasts, Frappe from McDonalds, Frappacinos at Starbucks, and drinks such as these against the WOW? I don’t find these drinks to be addictive other then they taste good like candy or ice cream which aren’t against the WOW unless I was eating nothing but these things. What about coffee flavored ice cream? These all have no information online and it seems that most members would state that you can have a TR and have these substances. Please clarify if you can or comment if your wondering the same questions please!
The only official interpretation we have received is that hot drinks refers to tea and coffee. There is no official mention of whether that includes extracts, and there is no official mention of whether it is based on its level of addiction.
