Health Benefits of Green Tea

Water is the number one consumed fluid in the world.  But you already knew that.  What do you think the second most popular drink in the world is?  The answer might surprise you.  It's tea.  One of the reasons so many people drink tea may be due to the health benefits.  Tea, in particular, green tea, has many health advantages.  Chemicals called the polyphenols found in green tea are potent antioxidants.  They're helpful in fighting heart disease and inflammatory problems.  Green tea has been touted as a cancer fighter, but studies do not support this claim.  Overall, green tea might not be cure-all and it probably gets a great deal more press than it deserves as a treatment for all sorts of problems, but it is a healthy choice when you're thinking about a relaxing drink.  Clearly, we know this much.  Tea does have a calming effect.

Study of Plastic Bottles and BPA

It is called bisphenol A, or BPA. The chemical is currently under much scrutiny and debate because some animal studies have suggested it can interact with the way hormones work in the body. Now, there is news from the University of Cincinnati that plastic bottles release the chemical bisphenol A faster when they’re exposed to hot water. Researchers analyzed plastic bottles and the bottles were tested over seven days to simulate normal use. The results showed that the amount of BPA released was the same for cool and room temperature water, but much higher amounts were released when the bottles were exposed to boiling water.
