Black as Good as Green
I’m always on the look out for information like this - as a big fan of black tea I’ve always been weary of the constant good press of green tea over its black cousin. I’ve always believed there’s a place for both in a healthy diet.
So I was very happy to read a recent newsletter from the UK Tea Council stating: “Black tea has the same effect on endothelial function as green tea”.
It goes on to say:
British Journal of Nutrition has shown that black tea improves endothelial function to the same degree as green tea despite having a lower catechin concentration.
In laymans terms? Black tea is just as effective an antioxidant as green tea!
Good news for black tea fans!
