Keeps Your Heart Pumping...         

All teas from the Camellia plant are rich in polyphenols, antioxidants that detoxify cell-damaging free radicals in the body.  Research shows tea has about eight to 10 times the polyphenols found in fruits and vegetables.  Some of the most persuasive tea research links tea to lower risks of heart disease, stroke and high cholesterol.  Numerous clinical studies have found that regular tea drinkers are as much as 44 percent less likely to suffer a heart attack than the general population.

Judd, who is with the DHPL, is the lead author of a recent study that found that drinking tea lowered cholesterol and, therefore, could possibly reduce the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). http://www.ars.usda.gov/is/AR/archive/sep03/tea0903.htm
