[edit] Altitude sickness

I saw something (I think it was on Discovery) that mate helps against altitude sickness and there were people working on isolating the active substance and making a mate pill. I googled a bit and found some sources.[1][2] [3][4] // Liftarn

That is not Yerba mate, but mate from coca leaves. Mariano(t/c) 11:52, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Ah, time to start an article on Mate de coca then. // Liftarn

[edit] Flavor and meaning

Errr, is this section needed? It's is truly not encyclopedic, more like someone's invention completelly unknown to most. Mariano(t/c) 07:08, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure where to put this, but this article should be merged with the "yerba mate" article!

[edit] I shot the sheriff (pero no maté el mate)

Regarding mate vs maté, see Talk:Yerba mate User:Ejrrjs says What? 18:17, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
