Next time you’re making a cuppa, new research shows it might be wise to opt for a white tea if you want to reduce your risk of cancer, rheumatoid arthritis or even just age-associated wrinkles. Researchers from Kingston University teamed up with Neal’s Yard Remedies to test the health properties of 21 plant and herb extracts.

"White Tea Could Keep You Healthy And Looking Young"

I guess white teas sales are down. Some people would bathe in pig crap if they were told it was good for them.

Unless the beverage contains lots and lots of caffeine or high amount of alcohol, it's no good for you. Science class is dismissed.

Headlines from the same source:

“Green Tea Helps Beat Superbugs, Study Suggests”
“Black Tea May Fight Diabetes “

Looks like you will need three cups at a time ;)

Some people would bathe in pig crap if they were told it was good for them.

My mother told me of an incident she had as a young girl. (circa early 1900s)

The word was fresh cow manure placed on your skin would get rid of freckles.
Well, she had freckles on her face, so you guessed it.

She sat on a pasture fence and waited for the 'plop', got the manure and rubbed it on her face.
I don't recall how long she left it on but she said it took the freckles and half her skin with it.! LOL

Oh no! I have a big, big stock of ‘green tea’, that was supposed to be the best for you. This is what I have been told for years. I have no white tea. :(
