staða okkar er ekki heldur í samræmi við þá
einu rannsókn, að okkar undanskilinni, sem
gerð hefur verið á te og bakflæði og birtist mjög
nýlega (22). Þetta ósamræmi gæti skýrst af mis-
munandi teblöndum þar sem okkar blanda var
ef til vill sterkari en gerist og gengur á Vestur-
löndum.
Við teljum raunhæft að yfirfæra niðurstöður
okkar, sem fengust við rannsókn á heilbrigðum
einstaklingum, yfir á sjúklinga með bólgu í vél-
inda vegna bakflæðis. Við ályktum því að
sjúklingar með bakflæðissjúkdóm eigi að tak-
marka sem mest neyslu á koffínríku kaffi og ef
til vill tei. Koffínsnautt kaffi virðist henta þess-
um sjúklingahópi betur.
Þakkir
