Studies Conclude White Tea Healthier Than Green Tea

I'm standing by the order counter at Second Cup cafe and I notice under the tea section "white tea" amongst red, green and herbal. The health benefits of tea seem endless. We've been told time and time again that tea can help prevent cancer, diabetes and even reduce risk of cardiovascular diseases. Studies have proven this to be true, however the real question is, which tea stumps the rest? Surely, there must be one that truly "has it all".
Most people will incorrectly conclude the winner is green tea, what with all the hype around its numerous benefits. Green tea grew in popularity because of its antioxidant properties and subsequently when people pose the question of which tea provides the most health benefits, the majority will answer, green tea. However, the healthiest tea ladies and gentleman, is white tea. White tea isn't as well known as green tea and that is probably because it is almost solely grown in China. It comes from the same plant as green tea, the Camellia Sinensis. The only difference is, white tea is less processed and therefore the benefits we enjoy from green tea are that much stronger in white tea. Studies conducted have confirmed white tea has higher amounts of gallic acid, known to fight cancer as well as higher amounts of theanine, an amino acid notorious for its relaxing traits. As if that weren't enough, white tea has also been found to have higher levels of catechins, which help fight harmful bacteria and viruses. As well as internal benefits, white tea possesses properties that benefit skin, teeth and promotes an overall youthful appearance. White tea contains less fluoride than both black and green tea which is beneficial for your teeth because excessive fluoride can cause spotting on your teeth, sending you to see your dentist one more time! Antioxidants have been dubbed the key to lasting youth because of how they combine with free radicals and neutralize them. Free radicals are what we are exposed to everyday, everything from UV rays to second hand smoke and are the reason some people age faster than necessary. Antioxidants help slow down the process of aging, so next time you're at a cafe ladies or gentlemen, why not treat yourself to a nice hot, soothing cup of white tea?

Tea and breast cancer

Scientists have long noted that breast cancer is much less common in countries where green tea is regularly consumed. One Japanese study found a decreased risk of recurrence for early-stage cancer patients who drank three or more cups of green tea. This suggests at least the possibility that regular green tea consumption may help prevent recurrence of breast cancer in early-stage cases. A Chinese study found that women who consumed at least 26 ounces of green tea leaves each year had a 39-percent reduced risk of breast cancer compared to non-drinkers. Twenty-six ounces of dried leaves per year equates to only 300 cups of green tea over the course of a year, which equals less than one cup per day.
