Tea time - reasons for pouring yourself another cuppa

TUESDAY, MAY 27, 2008

This winter there has never been more reason to sit down and enjoy a cup of tea as a toast for good health... For instance:

just 2 cups of black tea contain the equivalent antioxidants from 7 glasses of orange juice
regular tea drinkers lower their fatal heart attack risk by 70%, compared to non-tea drinkers
the risk of developing kidney stones is lowered 14% with each daily 235ml cup of tea
the average amount of caffeine in a cup of tea is 10-50mg – a third to half the amount in coffee. The daily recommended daily limit for caffeine intake is 600mg
studies show 63.7% fewer cavities formed in hamsters' teeth when fed black tea extract
it only takes 3 minutes for antioxidants to be released from tea bags or leaves (don't put milk in before this!)
2750,000 cups of tea are enjoyed worldwide every single day. The percentage of those that are drunk in Australia is only 0.4%.
