Hi Mike:

What I would like to see is a study that compares the effects of

different types of tea. A Tufts study many years ago showed that

regular black tea protected against eleven different forms of

cancer. Are there any studies that show green tea is materially

different in health effects from other types of tea? (That is tea

from the tea plant. I am not talking herbal teas, for which I know

of no evidence of benefit).

I realize that green and black teas are chemically somewhat different

as a result of the 'fermentation' process that is used to produce

black tea.
