Reducing Stroke Risk With Tea?
I frequently grumble about the exaggerations that various parties make for the health-giving properties of tea. But I don’t necessarily deny that there might be something to this “tea is healthy” notion, and I’ve written my fair share of articles on the topic. I thought for sure I’d covered the potentially beneficial relationship between tea Continue reading

Even More Strange Research About Tea
If you’ve ever doubted that there’s a great deal of offbeat research going on at any given moment, then consider that there’s at least one magazine dedicated to writing about it. That’s the Annals of Improbable Research, which is published by the same organization that sponsors The Ig Nobel Prizes, which “are intended to celebrate Continue reading

Green Tea and Depression
While many of us tend to reach for the word depression any time we feel “blue” or “down,” the truth is that real depression is a serious medical issue. The National Institutes of Health describes the problem in the following terms: “Major depressive disorder is one of the most common mental disorders in the United Continue reading

Tea and Digestion
Digestion is probably one of these things most of us take for granted. Like breathing and a heartbeat and the like, it’s a function that doesn’t attract much of our attention until something goes wrong. Which for many people is apparently quite often, if you consider the constant barrage of advertising one sees for antacids Continue reading

Is Caffeine a “Drug”?
I can across an article on line recently that called caffeine an addictive drug. Well, if you’ve been reading my articles for any length of time, you know I’m a bit of a stickler for correct terminology (maybe a bit overly so – sigh!). So, I wanted to check out if caffeine could really be Continue reading

How Much Tea Should You Be Drinking?
So, how much tea should you be drinking? The question is subjective, and each person will have their own answer. But are there any guidelines? It’s safe to say that you shouldn’t be drinking 150 tea bags worth of tea in a day, like the Michigan woman who did so for 17 years and ended Continue reading

Theine, Theanine, and Tea
It’s a bit of a paradox that a drink that contains caffeine can often impart to the drinker a feeling of calm and relaxation. That drink is tea, of course, and the calming compound contained therein is known as theanine. As I noted in an article I wrote here about theanine a few years ago, Continue reading

Green Tea Guards Against Alzheimer’s Disease?
The notion that tea might be of some use in fighting against Alzheimer’s disease is not a new one. I first wrote about it at this site several years ago and then touched on the subject again early last year. As I noted in that first article, the Alzheimer’s Association says there are 5.2 million Continue reading

What ConsumerLab.com Wants You to Know About Green Tea
If you look at this nifty chart, you’ll see that the interest in green tea – at least as measured by Web searches – peaked in early 2005, dipped a bit over the course of the next few years and has been mostly on the rise since then. It’s also safe to say, though I Continue reading

Is Ceylon Tea an Aphrodisiac?
I’ve heard my share of extravagant claims for tea over the course of the years. Most of the time I just move on (nothing to see here). Once in a while I pause to engage in a bit of contemplative inner ridicule for a few moments, but every now and then I have to stop Continue reading
