Tea as Alternative Medicine for Older Woman to Prevent Heart Trouble
"In
a...study of 232 women over 70 years of age, we measured 'homocysteine,]
tea intake...
"Tea
intake (more than 2 cups,) was inversely related to homocysteine...
"The
observed lower 'homocysteine in their blood] with higher tea intake is
consistent in direction and magnitude with previous...studies.."
From:
Asia Pacific Journal of Clin. Nutrition, vol. 15, 2006. By: Drs.
Hodgson, Devine, Prince, et al., U. of W. Australia School of Med.,
Perth, Australia.
Editor's note: High blood homocysteine levels have been shown to
correlate with subsequent heart disease. Tea has been shown to be
effective as an alternative medicine without side effects.
