DISCOVER THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF WHITE TEA
Milton Schiffenbauer, Ph.D., a microbiologist and professor in the Department of Biology at Pace University concludes “Our research shows white tea extract can actually destroy in vitro the organisms that cause disease. Study after study with tea extract proves that it has many healing properties. This is not an old wives tale, it’s a fact.”
A research study conducted at Oregon State University suggests that drinking white tea can be almost as effective as the prescription drug Sulindac in reducing colon cancer. Specifically, the study showed that the administration of white tea reduced the number of colon tumors in laboratory mice by 57%. When white tea was consumed in combination with Sulindac, the reduction of tumors was 80%.
Because the tea leaf stays so close to its natural state, the benefit of white tea is that it contains more polyphenols, the powerful antioxidant that fights and kills cancer-causing cells, than any other type of tea. Another white tea health benefit is that it contains much less caffeine per cup than green, oolong, or black tea. This is because the tea leaf is larger, underwent less processing, and is brewed in a cooler temperature than other teas.
