...stop the growth of bacteria that cause bad breath..."
"Compounds found in tea can stop the growth of bacteria that
cause bad breath, according to researchers at the University of
Illinois at Chicago. Polyphenols, which are chemical components
of tea, prevent both the growth of bacteria responsible for bad
breath and the bacteria's production of malodorous compounds,
indicate Christine Wu, professor of periodontics and associate
dean for research at the UIC College of Dentistry, and associate
MinZhu.
Wu points out that the study complements
earlier research in her laboratory showing that black tea
suppresses the growth of bacteria in dental plaque and that
rinsing with black tea reduces plaque formation and the
production of acids that cause tooth decay. "Besides inhibiting
the growth of pathogens in the mouth, black tea and its
polyphenols may benefit human oral health by suppressing the
[poor-smelling] compounds that these pathogens produce."

Black Tea Remedy for Food Poisoning
If you suspect food poisoning, couple black tea with a few
pieces of burned toast, says Georgianna Donadio, PhD, director
of the National Institute of Whole Health, a holistic
certification program for medical professionals. "The tannic
acid in tea and charcoal in the toast will neutralize the toxins
and help you get much better very quickly."

"Tea is one of the single best cancer fighters
you can put in your body."
"Tea is one of the single best cancer fighters you can put in
your body," according to Mitchell Gaynor, MD, director of
medical oncology at the. world-renowned Strong Cancer Prevention
Center in New York City and co-author of Dr. Gaynor's Cancer
Prevention Program (Kensington Books, 1999.
The latest tea discovery? Strong evidence that both green and
black tea can fight cancer-at least in the test tube-though
green tea holds a slight edge. In a new study, both teas kept
healthy cells from turning malignant after exposure to
cancer-causing compounds.

"Black tea consumption may lower bad cholesterol
levels and could one day be used to help reduce the chance of
heart disease for those at risk."
Scientists with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (news - web
sites) said they found consumers who drank black tea for three
weeks experienced a decrease of between 7 percent and 11 percent
in their low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or so-called bad
cholesterol.
Exactly what caused the LDL cholesterol level to drop in those
who consumed tea was unknown, but tests are being conducted to
determine if the beverage slows the body's ability to absorb LDL
cholesterol, the scientists said.
There was no effect on the level of high-density lipoprotein, or
the good type of cholesterol, according to the study of a small
group of individuals.

"Green tea shows promise as an allergy
fighter."
"The wonder cup just got even more wonderful. Green tea,
rich in antioxidant treasures that protect against heart
disease and cancer, now shows promise as an allergy fighter.
In laboratory tests, Japanese researchers have found that
the antioxidants in green tea, block the biochemical process
involved in producing an allergic response. Green tea may be
useful against a wide range of sneeze-starting allergens,
including pollen, pet dander, and dust.

"Green tea extract may prevent breast cancer
cells from manufacturing the new blood vessels necessary to
promote cancer cell growth"
Writing in a recent issue of the International Journal of
Cancer, the USC researchers noted that the reduction in
breast cancer risk among the green tea drinkers held true
even among women who had a family history of breast cancer
as well as among women who smoked or ate processed foods.
Exercise habits - either good or bad - also did not play a
role in the outcome for green tea drinkers.
The conclusions of this study support the important results
of a 2002 laboratory study. According to a report in Science
News, researchers at the University of California and the
University of Texas found that green tea extract may prevent
breast cancer cells from manufacturing the new blood vessels
necessary to promote cancer cell growth. If further research
confirms these findings, it may help explain why the green
tea drinkers in the USC study were at lower risk of breast
cancer, regardless of other health, diet, and family history
factors.

"Green tea may be useful in controlling inflammation from
injury or diseases such as arthritis."
Tea contains compounds that may help reduce inflammation and
help arthritis. Scientists at Case Western University in
Cleveland took two groups of mice and gave them injections
of a substance that causes immune reactions similar to those
due to rheumatoid arthritis. One group had regular water to
drink and the other got water laced with polyphenols,
chemicals found in green tea and, to a lesser extent in
black tea. Nearly all the mice that drank regular water got
arthritis-like symptoms, compared to less than half of the
treated mice.

Green tea can help with skin care
Green tea contains amino acids, Vitamins B1, B2 and B3,
Vitamins C, E, F, P and U, and several different minerals.
Of course, all of these promote good health but the specific
ingredients that make green tea good for skin care treatment
are polyphenols natural chemical substances found in
plants, and thought to be very high in antioxidants. What
can anti-oxidants do for you? The major benefit is that they
kill free radicals, those nasty little cells that can cause
cancer by altering the DNA. Including skin cancer. So, any
product you can get your hands on that includes green tea
might be beneficial.
