Guest guest Posted November 12, 2002 Report Share Posted November 12, 2002 Lester Mitscher, PhD, prof of medicinal chemistry at U of Kansas, and winner of the 2000 American Chemical Society's lifetime achievement award for his work with teas and antibiotic resistance, says that both green and black teas help ward off many types of cancer, fight heart disease and colds, and even prevents cavities--bcuz of the catechins in tea. Green tea has twice the catechins of black tea. He recommends 4 cups of green or six of black tea DAILY. Now I know we're supposed to stay away from coffee and tea, but then there was this little snippet that caught my attention: a study of more than 1000 participants showed that drinking 2 or more cups of tea a day for at least 6 years strengthened BONE density ! ! I'm not giving up my calcium citrate anytime soon, BUT anyone out there know a bit more about this? Carol A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
