Tea Sippers

We’ve been learning about all the health benefits of green tea. We will probably post more about that here in the days to come. We know that black tea also provides some measure of health benefits as well but so far, it has looked like green tea was the clear winner.

Now, out of the University of Dundee’s Neurosciences Institute comes some results which make black tea look very good indeed. Dr. Graham Rena, an insulin researcher with the University has found that good old black tea holds the potential to help people with type 2 diabetes by mimicking the action of insulin. The findings were published in the Aging Cell journal.

As usual, much more research will need to be done including some human testing and finding out just how much black tea will do the trick. However, this is some very good news for those suffering this debilitating disease.
