- anteyekon4myst, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7I understand the University Conducted this research, however who funds it. I drink a lot of tea, and I do hope this is true, but in this day and age I question claims such as this.
- cinnix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5As a frantic tea drinker this is kind of reassuring to here, but it doesn't outweigh the fact that drinking tea regularly is making me piss like a firehose lately.
Just thought I'd share that with you, Merry Christmas. - cplkai, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I picked up the Diggnation tea sampler from Adagio.. it was pretty delicious.
- B0jangles, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3PG Tips all the way, though I am partial to the old Yorkshire variety.
- iman79, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3hmm, why is it that all the tea related stories are always links to bbc
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@anteyekon: Right, the evil tea lobby must've gotten Newcastle University to make up a report. (sarcasm) Seriously, I need to see the data to make some judgements on this study so I'm not too convinced.
@Dirtyhipster: To the best of my knowledge, most of the data on tea especially EGCG has proven to have very significant benefits especially in cancer research. We shall see.
Anyway I drink tea and coffee so I'm rather picky on both but I like green tea if its brewed properly. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Does he drink Green Tea? Thats supposed to be the best for you. It's the antioxidants. I prefer Tea over coffee, coffee is really bad for ya. Green Tea tastes so good, and you won't get all that caffeine you get from Coffee.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I read the title, and the first thing that came into my mind was pouring green tea over my computer. Good thing I think before I act. =P
- cplkai, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Snapple uses green tea extract.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Where do I put the tea? Theres no receptacle to house liquids in my RAM slots.
- kray0n, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Any one who likes green tea should try white tea.. it's healthier and (in my opinion) even tastes better, more expensive though.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_tea - tommarley, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2tea is easily one of the most healthy things you can put in your body
http://productdose.com/wiki/tea - hiPpymIck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2(dont forget the other kind of 'tea' is sposed to help too)..........green tea rocks!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2right on. Any time is T time. recently discovered Tesco Finest which is even better than PG.
- RobotCitizen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2In related news, tea to become a controlled, prescription only substance.
- anteyekon4myst, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@imperium2000
LoL, yeah yeah, but look at how big tea consumption is in the world (especially outside North America). I honestly wouldn't be surprised. - riplikethat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Using teabags is probably the worst way of making tea... that and using too much suger.
- olliholliday, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1pg is mass produced *****. though not as bad as tetleys.
yorkshire tea's very nice but you have to make it relatively weak or it can get very bitter (one bag makes two!), but twinings everyday tea is by far my favourite. - ABadInAlbany, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@compaqnigg: coffee is NOT bad for you, idiot. yes, tea is good for you. so is coffee -- it has a lot of antioxidants, though not as many, or the same type, as tea. most Americans actually get a good majority of their antioxidants through coffee. furthermore, caffeine, in moderate amounts, is shown to boost memory, and cardiovascular performance. finally, coffee has been linked to prevention of cirrhosis -- protection of the liver from alcohol. that said, I drink them both; green and oolong tea, and plenty of 100% free trade, organic coffees.
and maiku00 is correct, white tea, harvested the earliest, not fermented at all, has more flavinoids and polyphenols than green tea, which has more than oolong (somewhat fermented) which all have a TON more than black (very fermented -- antioxidants are all oxidized.) - vick04, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2does drinking snapple count?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1check your air filters. may need a service!
- phlux, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I drink a TON of tea, I spend over 100 a month on tea (mostly green tea from Teavana)
I *seem* to notice a difference in my health due to the amount of green tea I drink (10+ cups per day)
I have a poor memory though. This I attribute to the level of stress with work and how mcuh stuff I ahve to keep track of between my career and honey-do lists and my personal interests in facts and information....
I hope to god that this is a nice side effect. Although there are vitamin regimins that one can start for memory improvement. Something i always mean to do, but I forget.... - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1To people who question the validity - it says "may" help. Second, for those who say it doesn't work - that's like saying "eating an apple a day doesn't keep the doctor away." Just because it helps, doesn't mean it cures.
- adml_shake, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1how about something in pill form for those of us that gag on tea?
- ABadInAlbany, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1yes, you can buy green tea extract in gel cap pills.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Uh...beware of drinking too much tea. Its got a small amount of flouride in it and combine it with fluorinated water can lead to fluorosis and funky teeth if you drink as much as you do.
- maiku00, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2white tea is actually the best, green comes in second. (health wise)
- johlin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Ah. So that's why my memory is so good.
- NeedleGuy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2i thought this sounded like old news and then i saw the date line: Monday, 25 October, 2004
- B0jangles, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Doesn't stop him from looking ill.
- funkspiel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I like 4C Green ice Tea mix. (light)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Is there even tea anymore? Its more like sugared, brown water.
- NuPagady, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Good news for Kevin Rose, since he's such an obsessive tea drinker.
- olliholliday, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2if it's bitter it's probably because you're squeezing the tea bag, you should pour the water through it and maybe stir a bit but certainly never squeeze at all or the bitter oils come out.
dugg down for sweet tea :) sugar just masks the taste of good tea completely. - iDiggIt42, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Try tried that once, remember?
...Am I the only one old enough to remember the Tea Act of 1776? - dirtyhipster, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3I thought they proved green tea had almost none of the health benefits that were claimed ?
- BryanJK, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I drink tea all the time, but it has to be sweet, bitter is nasty >:(
Otherwise, this is nice... I digg it :) - wasd, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4Arizona Green Tea :D
- NomenNescio, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2The only thing that really improves your memory is memorizing stuff.
- bariswheel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1uhhhhhh...
caffeine perhaps?
*lol'zers* - b0b0, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Actually tea bags aren't bad. It is much better than spending $35 a pop for gyokuro or macha.
- MiceMeatMeal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@imperium2000 There are more than 1,200 U.S. tea shops, compared with almost none 15 years ago. In the same period, tea sales have more than doubled to $5 billion. I think anteyekon4myst's suspicions aren't that far fetched (though improbable).
- Enfin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Green tea is among the richest natural sources of antioxidants, which have been linked with cancer prevention, decreased risk of stroke, and lowering blood cholesterol. It has also been associated with fighting cavities, slowing down potentially harmful blood clotting and acts as an anti-inflammatory agent in arthritis.
Studies done in China and Japan support the claim of Green Tea and cancer prevention, as these populations have a lower rate of certain types of cancer as compared to other groups.
Research done in1999, regarding antioxidants found in Green Tea, reported potential prevention of stomach and prostate cancer, anti-tumor promotion, treatment for liver disease, prevention of arthritis, and the exact way " Catechins ", ( catechins are very strong antioxidants, even stronger than vitamins A,C, E and beta-carotene at combating harmful free radicals and protecting fragile DNA ), are beneficial to humans on the molecular level.
The strong antioxidants are found both in the hot and iced teas in equal amounts and you can drink it sweetened and with milk, without losing the effect of the antioxidants. - voicetruth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0If your a green tea lover, check out 'matcha' green tea, made from the top three leaves of each plant. It's the traditional form of green tea from Japan, where you actually consume the ground leaf extract.
- revenge7, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Or, what I drink: Diet Decaffinated Arizona Green Tea

- thelastknowngod, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3yeah i dont buy this... my grandfather has been drinking tea forever and he couldnt tell you what year it is.
