Well-respected physician, Dr. John Weisburger, recently stated, "Tea is probably the single best thing you can add to your diet to ward off serious illness." Many people agree and green and black teas are being billed as a virtual health phenomenon. So what is all the excitement about?

Within the last few years, a significant body of knowledge is emerging that suggest green as well as black teas can help prevent diseases like cancer, increase bone density, improve oral hygiene and lower the risk of heart disease. Seems like a lot for a small cup to deliver, however, in research study after study the health benefits of these teas have not been disputed.

Can you guess what it is that makes tea so healthy? You’ve got it: Anti-oxidants! Teas contain powerful anti-oxidants called polyphenols. These anti-oxidants neutralize free radicals, which are known to cause damage to healthy cells.

Running to the market for some tea? Slow down a moment and first realize that not all teas are created equal! Before you load up on herbal teas, such as chamomile, realize these are herbal blends and not tea, and may not have any anti-oxidant properties.
