One more reason to drink tea

tea set up
With all the research out there touting the health benefits of tea, it's a wonder that everyone doesn't drink a cup (or two) every day. Now there's one more reason. New research shows that drinking at least one cup of black tea a day reduces the likelihood of getting Parkinson's Disease by 71%.

The researchers specifically used black tea rather than green tea, which is unusual, but I suspect that's because the majority of Britton's(where the research was conducted) drink black tea. The testers don't really know how black tea reduces the risk of Parkinson's, but they think it's due to the antioxidant levels in the beverage. One industry backed researcher said "Tea is one of the strongest dietary antioxidants available."

Of course this is only the beginning and more research is needed. But wouldn't it be great if the scientists get things all figured out, and it turns out that all we have to do is drink tea every day to stave off life threatening conditions later in life? Ah tea, the miracle drink.
