Tea Fights Anthrax!
March 25th, 2008
It may sound like I’m about to reel off a satirical nonsense to play on teas many health benefits but I assure you its absolutely true!! Tea has been found to fight one of the most deadly bacteriums on the planet – Anthrax.
Scientists in the Welsh School of Pharmacy at Cardiff University(UK) and University of Maryland(US) have found tea to inhibit the actions of anthrax.
Though once again – as has been the case before – the addition of milk to tea seems to completely remove all of its anti-anthrax properties.
I foresee a surge in tea drinking among military personnel wanting to stave off the possibility of anthrax attack. Though I’m not sure I’d want to risk trying it out in the field!
