While there have been many claims of the benefits of teas through the
years, and while there is nearly universal agreement that drinking tea
can benefit health, there is still a concern over whether the
lab-generated results are representative of real-life benefit, what the
risk of toxicity might be, and what the effective-level thresholds are
for various purposes. Clearly there are still questions about the
efficacy and use of tea for health benefit.
This book presents a comprehensive look at the compounds in black,
green, and white teas, their reported benefits (or toxicity risks) and
also explores them on a health-condition specific level, providing
researchers and academics with a single-volume resource to help in
identifying potential treatment uses. No other book on the market
considers all the varieties of teas in one volume, or takes the
disease-focused approach that will assist in directing further research
and studies.* Interdisciplinary presentation of material assists in identifying potential cross-over benefits and similarities between tea sources and diseases
* Assists in identifying therapeutic benefits for new product development
*Includes coverage and comparison of the most important types of tea – green, black and white
