[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)
- Very funny! (mató mil) Mariano(t/c) 06:21, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Nutrition
Have any studies been done on mate's nutritional or antioxidant content? I've been drinking it thinking it was just a type of green tea, oops. --Karuna8 18:58, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Chimarrão
Should the chimarrão article be merged into this one? After all, they are different denominations for the same thing. Rsazevedo (talk) 17:07, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, Chimarrão and Mate (beverage) articles seem like a favorable combination. __Just plain Bill (talk) 17:37, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
- I don't think so. It seems to me that since the actual ritual and practice of consumption is different, that I think they deserve their own articles deserve their own spot. However, they certainly should be linked. JMHO. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.6.187.146 (talk) 18:48, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- In that case, why not have a section of the Mate article dedicated to the ritual and practice of chimarrão? It makes no sense to have two different articles for the exact same beverage. Rsazevedo (talk) 17:10, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- Yes Tristanw (talk) 03:30, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
Camellia sinensis and Tea are separate articles and with good reason, there is a difference with between the biological extant species and what people create with it. an infusion and a living thing are different. Mate has yerba mate in it but it is not yerba mate, whereas yerba mate may be used to make mate but is not mate in and of itself as mate required addition ingredients. The coffee plant and coffee are not the same thing, coffee the beverage may include thousands of other ingredients, such is mate.Myheartinchile (talk) 05:02, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
