Tea May Help Prevent Diabetes And Cataracts

Tea May Help Prevent Diabetes And Cataracts: "Add another line to the list of benefits from drinking tea: New research in animals suggests that tea may be a simple, inexpensive means of preventing diabetes and its ensuing complications, including cataracts. The report, scheduled to appear in the May 4 print issue of the American Chemical Society's Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, was published March 31 on the journal's Web site."

And to that, it is important to note that both Green and Black tea were shown to be beneficial!

""Most people, scientists included, believe that green tea has more health benefits than black tea," says Joe Vinson, Ph.D., a chemist at the University of Scranton (Penn.) and lead author of the paper. In combination with Vinson's earlier research showing that green tea and black tea equally inhibit atherosclerosis -- a major risk factor for heart disease -- the findings suggest that both drinks could play a part in curbing two of the most widespread maladies in the United States today."
