Tea (to borrow a catchphrase) does a body good. While some marketers
tend to place undue emphasis on just how much good tea can do us,
there's compelling evidence nonetheless to show that it can benefit
our health on a number of fronts. Here are some of the potential
benefits we've examined thus far at the Twinings Tea Blog.

1. Heart Health

Have a healthy heart. It's a goal all of us should pursue and if
a number of studies on the matter are any indication, tea might help.

2. Weight Loss

There are several studies that indicate that tea may play a role
in weight loss.

3. Diabetes

Research has indicated that green, black and oolong tea may all
help protect against diabetes.

4. Alzheimer's
Evidence this far shows promise for tea and tea extracts in the
battle against Alzheimer's.
http://www.twinings.ca/?q=blog/2008/...nst-Alzheimers

5. Lung Cancer

The health problems posed by tobacco smoking are surely no
secret to anyone these days. What probably isn't so well known is that
tea may help guard against lung cancer.

6. Cholesterol

There are no shortage of claims for the many potential health
benefits drinking tea can provide, including the possibility that it
may lower your cholesterol level.

7. Osteoporosis

For tea drinkers, there may be benefits related to osteoporosis,
according to a number of research studies.

8. Parkinson's Disease

For Parkinson's sufferers, the possibility that tea may help
fight the disease can only come as welcome news.
http://www.twinings.ca/?q=blog/2008/...insons-Disease

9. Prostate Cancer

It's probably fair to conclude that drinking a couple cups of
tea a day is not a bad way to help guard against prostate cancer.

10. Stress

Tea might possess qualities that help reduce stress and aid in
relaxation.

If you're going to (cross-)post here at all, you seem to be unable to
avoid repetition. But maybe you can just not post here at all?

I dont think tea helps with stuttering. The above applies also if you
are mainly a vegetarian. Drinking tea is drinking a green vegetable.
When you eat BBQ make sure you have a mess of greens, aka
mustard,collard,turnip,spinach to neutralize meat toxins. If you're
drinking tea for health you're already sick. I'm afflicted with 3-4
conditions of the above which is mainly family history. I've been an
avid tea drinker for 40 years which doesnt include the ice tea I grew
up on in the South which is why I always have greens with my BBQ. As
I always say, if tea keeps me alive another day for another cup it
didnt cost me anything extra.

Seconded. Dennis, your posts are not useful nor relevant so please
just stop posting here.

Dominic:

I respectfully disagree. While the repetition is annoying, the
information is indeed relevant, it is about tea no? And is this group
not about sharing information about tea? I for one appreciate the
information being posted here and would like to continue to see it
posted (if you can just avoid the repetition Dennis...)

Well, you are entitled to your opinion but seeing as how you also are
not a regular contributor here it doesn't mean much to me personally.
The information Dennis posted was not his own, it is simply an
aggregate of most of the folks' here (myself included) posts. Feel
free to read any/all of our individual blogs to glean the same
information from the real sources.

If Dennis or yourself would like to contribute real information,
discussion, or insight then that is most welcome.

Fair enough Dominic, I personally do not give your opinion much weight
either because I do not know you or your motivation either, so I guess
we are equal in that regard. If this group is not for sharing
information, then I guess I missed the point somewhere. Why not share
a blog posting? Why not share some information that someone found
useful for themselves? Perhaps in this one instance it was not
targeted to yourself, who is apparently much more knowledgeable about
tea than others on the list? Try to keep in mind that not everyone
reading this list, be it on Usenet or other, is as educated as
yourself about tea, and they perhaps appreciate that the information
was shared? I for one am appreciative of the original post (the
first, not the subsequent re-postings), no matter the intention of the
poster.

Just an opinion, no more or less valid than yours either.

Oh and a PS - I would indeed love to read some of your blogs, BUT I
don't see much in the way of promotion of those blogs, so how am I
supposed to know about them unless they are advertised in some way? I
love the aggregate sites because they allow me to FIND the end posters
of that information and their blogs.....

Maybe this requires a thread on blogs with good information?

This guy is giving Twinings a bad name. I hope they fire him or sue
his dumb ass.

PS An http url is not a valid Usenet signature. Just because the
ignorant masses do it doesnt mean you have too if you give a rats ass
about Usenet.

One major benefit is missing - it could save you from a knife wound:
