What's in tea that would make you retain water?


Recommended Posts

Usually, when my fingers swell up like sausages and my feet are truly sporting little piggies, I know what the cause is -- salt. Too much diet soda will do it, for one thing.

 

Why would tea do that? Just plain ol' tea? This isn't a one time thing -- I notice it every time I drink it. There's certainly no salt in it and, if anything, I would think tea would be a diuretic -- though I have no scientific basis for this guess.
