If I had said that!
You and Only(metal) seem to think no one has noticed you
snipped what I acftually siadf, and rephrased it to suit your argument.

maybe the only mental (I am correcting your spelling mistake for you,
well I assume it was a spelling mistake, hard to tell with your spieling
history) one here is you. (but I have full
sympathy with anyone who's sanity is tested by this modern world - except
those evil scheming psycho's our rulers)

Let me run through the sequence of events

1. you said acorns kill humans dont kill pigs.

2. I thought you said kill pigs dont kill humans

3. I spotted the mistake, but after some research realised acorns kill
neither humans nor pigs. (though did not rule out a peanut effect for
acorns for those with an "allergy" for want of a better explanation)

4. I posted to correct my mistake and explain I did not think acorns
killed either man nor pig

5. you replied to another thread saying I got it wrong (well a bit more
colourfully than that)

6. I restated what I said and pointed out green tea has gallotannin in and
"respected" publication had article saying in fact gallotannin was also a
useful medicine for stroke and maybe general brain longevity (perhaps
useful for alzheimers as well???)

7. you claim gallotannin breaks down in water and even more so when boiled
you post a statement from brittanica saying "breaks down in water" well
yes, but that might take 3 days, not the 3 minutes you steep a brew for.

8. you also call me names and say I am a liar or demented, I don't think I
am either.

9. I read the page you refer to, but because I dont have access to
brittanica I get an extract which actually tells me gallotannin is
extracted from the raw plant source using water , so it cannot be very
speedily broken down by water if water is used to extract it. The actual
page you refer to says

...condensed. Hydrolyzable tannins (decomposable in water, with which
they react to form other substances), yield various water-soluble
products, such as gallic acid and protocatechuic acid and sugars.
Gallotannin, or common tannic acid, is the best known of the hydrolyzable
tannins. It is produced by extraction with water or organic solvents from
Turkish or Chinese nutgall. Tara, the pod from...

It makes no comment about how fast the breakdown reaction is and by saying
it is extracted using water seems to shoot down your theory that it would
be decomposed by making a cup of green tea and seems to confirm my theory
that a cup of freshly made green tea has gallotannin in....

So get your facts right will you?

I did not rephrase anything that I have not corrected publicly to you, I
made the statement acorns kill neither humans nor pigs.

(that is not to say acorns could not kill a person in the same way peanuts
could if you were very unlucky)
