Top 10 Health Benefits of Tea

If you're going to (cross-)post here at all, you seem to be unable to avoid repetition. But maybe you can just not post here at all?

Another benefit might be providing a "social institution," where even national characteristics are involved. Some countries have tea houses, as others have coffee houses. In Europe, some countries are associated with a tea type, like English, Irish, and Scottish. British have conventions involving "high tea", tea break, what constitutes a silver tea service, the mug of tea available to workers and victims during an emergency, etc.. bookburn

I dont think tea helps with stuttering. The above applies also if you are mainly a vegetarian. Drinking tea is drinking a green vegetable. When you eat BBQ make sure you have a mess of greens, aka mustard,collard,turnip,spinach to neutralize meat toxins. If you're drinking tea for health you're already sick. I'm afflicted with 3-4 conditions of the above which is mainly family history. I've been an avid tea drinker for 40 years which doesnt include the ice tea I grew up on in the South which is why I always have greens with my BBQ. As I always say, if tea keeps me alive another day for another cup it didnt cost me anything extra.

Seconded. Dennis, your posts are not useful nor relevant so please just stop posting here.

One major benefit is missing - it could save you from a knife wound:

You missed one - tea can prevent knife wounds:

I respectfully disagree. While the repetition is annoying, the information is indeed relevant, it is about tea no? And is this group not about sharing information about tea? I for one appreciate the information being posted here and would like to continue to see it posted (if you can just avoid the repetition Dennis...)

Well, you are entitled to your opinion but seeing as how you also are not a regular contributor here it doesn't mean much to me personally. The information Dennis posted was not his own, it is simply an aggregate of most of the folks' here (myself included) posts. Feel free to read any/all of our individual blogs to glean the same information from the real sources.

If Dennis or yourself would like to contribute real information, discussion, or insight then that is most welcome.

This guy is giving Twinings a bad name. I hope they fire him or sue his dumb ass.

PS An http url is not a valid Usenet signature. Just because the ignorant masses do it doesnt mean you have too if you give a rats ass about Usenet.

Fair enough Dominic, I personally do not give your opinion much weight either because I do not know you or your motivation either, so I guess we are equal in that regard. If this group is not for sharing information, then I guess I missed the point somewhere. Why not share a blog posting? Why not share some information that someone found useful for themselves? Perhaps in this one instance it was not targeted to yourself, who is apparently much more knowledgeable about tea than others on the list? Try to keep in mind that not everyone reading this list, be it on Usenet or other, is as educated as yourself about tea, and they perhaps appreciate that the information was shared? I for one am appreciative of the original post (the first, not the subsequent re-postings), no matter the intention of the poster.

Just an opinion, no more or less valid than yours either.

Good point. Here's a start. I find many of the blogs aggregated here worth dipping into:

/Lew

Look I'm in no mood or inclination to argue with you. If you don't value me or my opinions then that is fine with me. I never assume anyone is at any specific "level" and myself and many others here have posted our blog URLs which are very easy to find with a simple search of the word "blog."

Again, it never ceases to amaze me that somehow someone who lurks or rarely/ever contributes is quick to judge or spout off when someone who HAS invested a large amount of time and effort shows well-founded displeasure with something going on here. It doesn't make my opinion worth any more or less, what it shows is that I have a much more vested interest in keeping things as they are with a good signal to noise ratio... I obviously have a real reason behind what I am saying or I wouldn't waste my time or effort. You may not understand or realize the implications and impact of allowing such things as Dennis' post but I do.

Posts like this just flood the group, and are made without any desire to then come back in and discuss anything... BECAUSE THE OP DIDN'T WRITE IT AND HAS NO ACTUAL KNOWLEDGE. So you just get a bunch of garbage posts and dead end discussions. If someone wants to post some original thoughts/info/insight/whatever, fine, but to just blast a big list of aggregate posts serves no one even if you think it does.

- Dominic

Mmmmm - guess I will just have to do that search - unfortunately when I just did that, my news server only returned messages as old as last month - not much there - thin pickings. I suppose that I could do a web search, yet another one, but the results are just harder and harder to pick through. If you have a blog, and you interested in sharing the information in it with the group (I am interested in reading it!) why not just add it as a sig or something?

I really did not intended to create an argument, just presenting my opinion as many others here do. If it is not worth your time - why bother to respond to it? I am not interested in a flame war either, so lets just leave it at that.

I do indeed realize what the implications of a large amount of noise is

- I am no newbie to the web, forums or other information sharing mediums, however posts like "paypal wholesale Samsung Mobile (paypal accept)(www goodsaler com )" are a lot different in my opinion than links to news articles on tea health.

Dennis is undoubtedly posting those articles here for the purpose of promoting the blog, probably a hired consultant to do so since I do not see his name on the articles - dunno for sure, HOWEVER, that does not diminish the fact that there is information on that blog that is relevant, and related. The post on tea storage for instance, that he posted, generated some good discussion and information - but is that not relevant because of the source? It promoted discussion and insight, and for that, I feel personally that it has value.

That all being said, the discussion generated between you and I Dominic does not seem to have much value, so best we just leave it rest. If you want the last word please do respond, I will probably just go back to lurking and learning from this and maybe one day I will have something that you may see as valuable to add to the discussion.

Here's another good site with lots of excellent tea blogs aggregated here:

It looks great, and it has the perfect name for a tea blog aggregator!

/Lew

Just a point I wanted to make, I haven't looked into these particular "aggregate" sites but it is very easy to use an RSS news program on your own to aggregate any/all blogs you want in one place and most are free and very good. The reason being is that sites like these often include advertising and make money on other people's hard work and time, where a newsreader does the same thing but with no financial gain for some third-party.

There are hundreds of sites which do the same thing with Usenet newsgroups and make them look like a forum via a website with ads and it's just a shame and only does harm to keep them around and profitable. My 2 schillings.

If you're looking specifically for tea blogs, you might try looking in the directory on blogged.com

Try here:

and here:

Some of the tea blogs are not listed in the same category, so you need to look in both places.
