15th October, 2007: Tea May Help Protect Against Skin Cancer
Although summer is behind us, the harmful effects of the sun still remain. In addition to using sunscreen, would you believe drinking tea helps protect you from skin cancer? A recent study published in the Journal of American Academy of Dermatology found that people who consumed at least one cup of tea daily were significantly less likely to develop the two most common kinds of skin cancer. In fact, the risk was reduced by as much as 20-30%, according to this Dartmouth Medical Study. The researchers did not differentiate between green and black tea. So this fall, when you’re catching rays while on the sidelines of your favorite sport, make sure to lather up with sunscreen and drink some tea, hot or cold, green or black.

2- The caffeine in tea takes twice as long to eliminate from the body.
3- Depletes the adrenal glands just like coffee
4- Decreases melatonin production = sleep disorders like insomnia
5- Caffeine acts as a diuretic (by the way, caffeine is a strong diuretic, which depletes the body of certain vitamins and minerals, such as “C”, folic acid, calcium, magnesium, and potassium
6- All teas contain flouride. Flouride is accumulative toxin. Only 50% of this poison is excreted from the body per day. The other half stays and accumulates, particualry in the brain & bones.
