The Canadian newspaper, the National Post has an article today, “A porcelain cup of power”, which talks about the health benefits of tea. According to National Post, “The list of potential benefits of tea seems to be growing in leaps and bounds. Scientists have linked tea consumption to protection against common ills such as cardiovascular disease, certain cancers, high blood pressure and Alzheimer’s disease.

Tea’s action in protecting artery health provides insight into just how complex its disease-fighting weaponry actually is. First, some of the polyphenols in tea, called flavonoids, have been shown to reduce blood cholesterol readings. Also on the cholesterol front, some of these compounds defend against cholesterol being oxidized into the form of cholesterol that’s more easily deposited in arteries.
