Tea drinkers have less chance of developing certain diseases, including cancer and coronary health disease, than non-drinkers. According to a study conducted at Kings College, London, and reported in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, a review of the past 15 years' worth of epidemiological studies that contained data on tea consumption, showed that those who drank at least three cups of tea a day showed significantly reduced risk of various health impediments.
The research noted that the effect is created by the flavonoids, the polyphenol antioxidants, that tea contains. There were no noted health hazards observed with up to eight cups of tea daily. The researchers commented that drinking tea might be more healthy than drinking water, especially if tea motivates people more than water does to drink several cups a day.

I also read a study that said adding milk to tea negated its positive effects ... nullifed them. I don't use milk or sugar anymore ... unless we go to Clayburn store for tea ... they make real English tea ... strong and then I indulge ... but often do we get there? Not even once a month.
