Comparing the Efficacy of Black Tea and Green Tea

In some researches, the researchers claim that green tea has more benefits than the usual black tea available at home. Finally, many people who wants to have a healthy lifestyle, replaces the supplies of black tea at home with green tea which is more expensive.

However, recently other researchers say that a cup of black tea alone is good for your body. While green tea consumption is only a waste of money.

The study, conducted by a dietitian, Dr Carrie Ruxton, says that just like green tea, black tea are able to reduce the risk of cancer, stroke, diabetes, or tooth decay.

“This study has seen the similarity of the benefits of both types of tea. Both tea can improve vascular function that leads to a significantly reduced risk of stroke,” he said, according to the Daily Mail.

The research was published in the ‘Journal Network Health Dieticians’. In his writing, Ruxton concluded that black tea and green tea comes from the camellia sinesis plant and has similar compounds, and offers the same health benefits.

In 2011, the conclusions from 17 studies that have been made says that the risk of heart attacks in people who drank three cups of black tea every day is 11 percent lower than those who do not.

Dr Catherine Hood from the Tea Advisory Panel said, “Black tea is increasingly showing greater health benefits. Black tea is the new green tea for those who already know it.”

Thus, both green tea and black tea are equally beneficial to the body. Apart from research, the choice is in your hands.
