HEALTH AND WELLNESS NOTES:
• Black tea comes from the same plant as green and white teas, (Camellia Sinensis) and is an excellent source of antioxidants and polyphenols.
• Antioxidants and tea polyphenols are documented in various research papers as inhibitors of various types of cancers in some cases.
• A Dutch study published by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that the risk of heart attack in people who drank 3 or more cups of black tea per day was 1/2 that of non-black tea drinkers. The study also found that the risk of dying from a heart attack, if they had one, was reduced by 1/3rd.*
*(Geleijnse, Johanna M et al. Inverse association of tea and flavonoid intakes with incident myocardial infarction: the Rotterdam Study. Am J Clin Nutr 2002;75:880-86.)
• In laboratory tests commissioned by The Metropolitan Tea Company Ltd, results noted that premium black teas grown at high altitude generally contained more antioxidants compared to low altitude common green teas.
• A cup of tea consumed without milk or sugar or any other additives contains no calories.
• Recently (since 2008) research has been done that indicates black tea can be consumed for reducing the risk of heart attack and kidney stones: a dose of at least one cup per day.
• Recently (since 2008) research has been done that indicates black tea can be consumed for preventing "hardening of the arteries" (atherosclerosis), 125-500 mL (1-4 cups) of brewed black tea daily.
• Some doctors suggest putting wet black tea bags on canker sores. Black tea contains tannin, a substance that can relieve pain
• Drinking black tea throughout the day helps to keep people alert, even after extended periods without sleep.
• Women who drink black tea seem to have an 8% lower risk of developing kidney stones.
• Women who regularly drink tea, including black tea or green tea, appear to have a significantly lower risk of developing ovarian cancer compared to women who never or seldom drink tea.
• There is some evidence from large-scale studies that people who drink caffeinated beverages such as coffee, tea, and cola have a decreased risk of Parkinson's disease. For men, the effects seem to be dose-related. However, there seems to be a significant reduction in risk even with consumption of as little as 124-208 mg (4-8 cups of tea) caffeine per day. Drinking black tea also appears to reduce the occurrence of Parkinson's disease among people who smoke.
• In combination with various other products, black tea is used for weight loss.
• So far (Jan. 2011) there is some evidence that drinking black tea might be linked to stronger bones in women aged 65-76 years. Drinking black tea also seems to be associated with a lower risk of hip fracture in men and women who are older than 50.
• There is evidence that men who get more chemicals called phytoestrogens in their diet have up to a 27% lower risk of developing lung cancer than men who do not get these chemicals. Green tea and black tea contain phytoestrogens.
TRADITIONAL, THERAPEUTIC AND FOLK MEDICINE USE NOTES:
• Tea - In 1650‟s London, tea was sold as a health beverage. Claims at the time indicated that tea was "Wholesome, preserving perfect health until extreme old age, good for clearing the sight”…able to cure "gripping of the guts, cold, dropsies, scurveys" and that "it makes the body active and lusty.”
