Recent research exploring the potential health attributes of tea is leading many scientists to believe that tea, both black and green, may contribute positively to a healthy lifestyle.
"Fruits, vegetables, and tea all contain important antioxidants. Research suggests these phytonutrients may contribute substantially to the promotion of health and the prevention of chronic diseases. For example, recent research studies reveal the antioxidants in tea may inhibit the growth of cancer cells and support cardiovascular health."
Jeffrey Blumberg, Ph.D., F.A.C.N, Chief of the Antioxidants Research Laboratory at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University.
