An article on health benefits of tea:
The claim that green tea may contain as little as 9mg caffeine per 8oz is suspect. Anyone have access to the source?
My green tea has 40mg per 6oz before I decaf it.
NOT DOUBTING! but intriqued . . .
How do you know this?
Dr. Higdon's disertation about tea is so incrediblely flawed, it is incredible to me that it has been so influential in the tea world, I assume it is because it has fueled the overly hyped marketing of white tea. Had she validated any of her research with the tea scientists in China, she would have been back at square one with her disertation. There is an enormous body of research in relationship to tea that is certainly more accurate then Dr. Higdon's.
OK, is any of the tea science from china available in english?
Unfortunately, there is not, now anyway, but we currently translating some, but it is slow going. I'm pretty sure though that even some people that belong to this newgroup can see the obvious flaws, especially in here descriptions of white and green tea that the paper is based on. I'm sorry. I normally don't offer opinions about these kind of issues, but there are so many people spending so much money on white tea based on this, that really are being commercially manipulated in relationship to thier health. Doesn't anyone care about the involvement of tea companies in this research that benefits them. It benefits me too, because we sell a lot of white tea, but I think it is right. So having said that
A lot of articles with Chinese sounding authors' names are cited in the study. Do you have any comment on any of them? toci
