Benefits Of Black Tea
You may have heard of the benefits of green brews, but black tea has tremendous health benefits as well. The American Heart Association recently found people with coronary-artery disease were able to release a chemical called nitric oxide when they drank four cups every day. Nitric oxide is a chemical that causes the arteries to dilate in healthy people. In addition, this variety contains high levels of flavonoids, which have been shown to fight cancer and prevent cellular damage.
A Rutgers University study found that black tea may help to prevent some types of cancer of the stomach, prostate and breast. A Pace University study found additional benefits, such as the prevention of diarrhea, pneumonia and infections of the skin. Brews like Lapsang Souchong and Keemun also contain fluoride to prevent tooth decay and the formation of bacteria in the teeth and gums.

When you drink a cup, you get the benefits of a moderate caffeine buzz without feeling out of control--the average cup contains just three-percent caffeine.
