White Tea Beats Green Tea In Fighting Germs

studies conducted at Pace University have indicated that White

Tea Extract (WTE) may have prophylactic applications in retarding

growth of bacteria that cause Staphylococcus infections,

Streptococcus infections, pneumonia and dental caries.

Researchers present their findings today at the 104th General

Meeting of the American Society for Microbiology.

Past studies have shown that green tea stimulates the immune system

to fight disease, " says Milton Schiffenbauer, Ph.D., a microbiologist

and professor in the Department of Biology at Pace University's Dyson

College of Arts & Sciences and primary author of the research.

" Our research shows White Tea Extract can actually destroy in vitro

the organisms that cause disease.

Study after study with tea extract proves that it has many healing

properties. This is not an old wives tale, it's a fact. "

White tea was more effective than green tea at inactivating bacterial

viruses.

Results obtained with the bacterial virus, a model system; suggest

that WTE may have an anti-viral effect on human pathogenic viruses.
