Green with envy

Black tea, that is, after this WebMD article on the benefits of green tea.

Nothing horribly new. Green tea compounds have been shown to fight all manner of things, including heart disease, cancer, obesity, diabetes, non-Supermanism and stroke. But most of the studies are in the lab, not on people. Still.

The story notes that most human studies involve those from the East, where other factors could influence results (don't they adjust for that?).

The story also notes the lack of individuals who have a long history of drinking tea that they can study. Uh, right here. Hello! Willing participant with 8 years of 3-6 cups of 50% green tea drinking experience available!

And yeah, I made that pentultimate disease up.
