Thanks for a terrific post! In addition to the health benefits that you mention, there is interesting research showing that GREEN TEA lowers your risk of colon cancer, and other cancers, and other research showing that people who drink 3-6 cups of tea most days live longer. Admittedly, the research has been abit conflicting on the issue but if you take a overview of the data in aggregate-in my view, it suggests that Green Tea (at least) is a health-promoting drink....
Great post Melanie!
Raspberry Leaf Tea also has numerous benefits for women but in particular, pregnant women.
Although many people think it can induce labour, little scientific evidence supports this but it does have many other benefits including reducing nausea, lessening bleeding gums and giving a great dose of vitamins to mum-to-be!
