“You mentioned oolong tea as a “bad” tea.

I don’t believe the Word of Wisdom states oolong tea (or tea in general) is bad, or rather unhealthy. In fact, all it does say regarding the matter is that “hot drinks are not for the body or belly”. Some may interpret that to mean tea is bad or unhealthy, but that is simply one interpretation.<\/p>\n
