Talk:Rooibos

message: 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)
thread_title:  Anticarcinogenic? 

message: under "grading" a line says:
The high-grade rooibos is exported and does not reach local markets, with major consumers being the EU, particularly Germany, where it is used in creating flavoured blends for loose-leaf tea markets.
The source is a copy from an online published book that does not to seem have any other reference. In fact it appears that this is not the case and Rooibos is popular in its local markets. I would like to delete it
Marisajo (talk) 20:03, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  source for grading 

message: This statement is easy to understand and is supported by a reliable source: "As a fresh leaf, rooibos contains a high content of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), which is lost when made into tea." The article is about a bush and its leaves used to make tea. As the source says, fresh (green, as shown in the images) leaves contain high amounts of vitamin C (any fresh green leaf would). As vitamin C is highly heat-sensitive, it is lost when hot tea is made from the leaves. There's no problem with this content and source, yet an IP editor insists it is wrong, with no source to dispute it. Zefr (talk) 04:40, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: There are numerous examples one can find in the literature showing that fresh green tea leaves contain high vitamin C, but the drying process and then brewing to make hot tea substantially diminishes vitamin C, such as this one example here. The article images show rooibos bush fresh leaves are green, then the leaves are processed by "oxidation" or fermentation to produce the typical red color of dried rooibos tea leaves - see description and sources under "Production and processing". This drying process would reduce and possibly eliminate ascorbic acid (vitamin C) from the final, dried leaves used to make tea. Zefr (talk) 14:43, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: A statement of this type probably does not really matter, but I will point out that Lyons commanded the Army of the West, which was really an Army in name only. It had a strength of about 5400 men, about the size of a typical Union brigade or small division. So it would be correct to say McPherson was the only major general commanding an army killed in battle, or the only commander of a multi-corps army killed in battle, but that sounds too much like a lawyer wrote it. :-) Hal Jespersen (talk) 21:24, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Interestingly, just when KBS and Pat Kelso were discussing this, Pat moved a large chunk to Graphical projection, which now provides another overlap. — Sebastian 22:13, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the subjects are sufficiently distinct to merit separate articles. Visual perspective describes a phenomenon that exists in the eye of an observer when looking at objects in space; it includes the apparently diminished size of distant objects (linear perspective) as well as aerial perspective. Graphical perspective is a set of conventions by which artists and designers represent this, typically on a two-dimensional surface. The trickery involved is comparable to that required when rendering the curved surface of the earth on a flat map. Despite overlap, the subjects probably should be developed separately, as cartography and map projection are.  Ewulp (talk) 08:58, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
