drmeriftr 0 Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 A study by University College London (Oct. 2006) revealed that people who drank tea after stressful events were able to de-stress more quickly than those who did not drink tea. The researchers discovered that black tea lowers the levels of cortisol, a harmful stress hormone, by a significant average of 47 percent. No distinction was referenced between decafinated or regular tea. http://www.businessportal24.com/en/Black_T...ing_143589.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
