Tea healthier drink than water
Drinking three or more cups of tea a day is as good for you as drinking plenty of water and may even have extra health benefits, say researchers.The work in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition dispels the common belief that tea dehydrates.
Tea not only rehydrates as well as water does, but it can also protect against heart disease and some cancers, UK nutritionists found.
Experts believe flavonoids are the key ingredient in tea that promote health.
Healthy cuppa
These polyphenol antioxidants are found in many foods and plants, including tea leaves, and have been shown to help prevent cell damage.
Tea replaces fluids and contains antioxidants so its got two things going for it Lead author Dr Ruxton
Public health nutritionist Dr Carrie Ruxton, and colleagues at Kings College London, looked at published studies on the health effects of tea consumption.
They found clear evidence that drinking three to four cups of tea a day can cut the chances of having a heart attack.
Some studies suggested tea consumption protected against cancer, although this effect was less clear-cut.
Other health benefits seen included protection against tooth plaque and potentially tooth decay, plus bone strengthening.
Dr Ruxton said: "Drinking tea is actually better for you than drinking water. Water is essentially replacing fluid. Tea replaces fluids and contains antioxidants so it's got two things going for it."
Rehydrating
She said it was an urban myth that tea is dehydrating.
"Studies on caffeine have found very high doses dehydrate and everyone assumes that caffeine-containing beverages dehydrate. But even if you had a really, really strong cup of tea or coffee, which is quite hard to make, you would still have a net gain of fluid.
"Also, a cup of tea contains fluoride, which is good for the teeth," she added.
There was no evidence that tea consumption was harmful to health. However, research suggests that tea can impair the body's ability to absorb iron from food, meaning people at risk of anaemia should avoid drinking tea around mealtimes.
Tea is not dehydrating. It is a healthy drink Claire Williamson of the British Nutrition Foundation
Dr Ruxton's team found average tea consumption was just under three cups per day.
She said the increasing popularity of soft drinks meant many people were not drinking as much tea as before.
"Tea drinking is most common in older people, the 40 plus age range. In older people, tea sometimes made up about 70% of fluid intake so it is a really important contributor," she said.
Claire Williamson of the British Nutrition Foundation said: "Studies in the laboratory have shown potential health benefits.
"The evidence in humans is not as strong and more studies need to be done. But there are definite potential health benefits from the polyphenols in terms of reducing the risk of diseases such as heart disease and cancers.
"In terms of fluid intake, we recommend 1.5-2 litres per day and that can include tea. Tea is not dehydrating. It is a healthy drink."The Tea Council provided funding for the work. Dr Ruxton stressed that the work was independent.

Perhatian Kepada Penggemar Taugeh
Mesti ramai suka makan taugeh. nak pulak campur dlm char kuey teow.
hmmm rangup... tapi nak beli taugeh tu kene buat eksperimen dulu la.
beli sket, jgn makan dulu sebaliknya simpan dulu utk 3 hari. pastu cuba bau taugeh tu lepas 3 hari camane. dan kalau boleh jgn beli taugeh yg kaler putih berseri tu.
kepututsan yg mungkin boleh didapati...
lepas 3 hari bau taugeh tu hanching semacam.
bermakna taugeh tu disiram dgn urine aka air kencing.
dan air urine tu la jugak menyebabkan kaler putih berseri.
kalau nak tau taugeh keluaran bumiputera senang aje.
kaler dia mcm kekuningan sket dan cepat layu serta kurang rangup, sebabnya
langsung tak guna urine sebagai baja.
ni info dari pegawai opis aku yg pernah buat lawatan ke pusat2 penanaman
taugeh dibeberapa negeri tertentu yg diusahakan oleh cha ya nun alip.
siap terjumpa satu bilik khas simpan air kencing utk disiram pada pokok2
taugeh tu.
dan kenapa taugeh jodik mangsa?
sebabnya taugeh ni jenis pokok menyimpan air siraman bulat2 terus dlm
batangnya.
tak spt sayuran lain iaitu sayuran2 berdaun hijau yg mengalami fotosintesis
semasa proses
penyerapan baja atau dgn erti kata lainnya air siraman masuk ke tanah dulu
barulah akar menyerap dan proses fotosintesis berjalan utk penyerapan zat2
dari baja.
tak mcm taugeh dia serap terus ape yg kita siram sebab pertumbuhan
tumbesaran bukan secara fotosintesis.
tu sbbnya kalau simpan dlm masa 3 hari bau dia wangiiiiiii semacham...
so bagitau la kat sedara mara, kengkawan pasal nak mengenal taugeh2
hanching
dgn taugeh2 bumiputera.

Cigarettes May Contain Pig Blood
Cigarettes may contain blood - research
"Insight into world of cigarette manufacture"
Likely to raise concerns for Muslims, Jews
CIGARETTES may contain traces of pigs' blood, an Australian academic says with a warning that religious groups could find its undisclosed presence "very offensive".
University of Sydney Professor in Public Health Simon Chapman points to recent Dutch research which identified 185 different industrial uses of a pig - including the use of its haemoglobin in cigarette filters.
Prof Chapman said the research offered an insight into the otherwise secretive world of cigarette manufacture, and it was likely to raise concerns for devout Muslims and Jews.
Religious texts at the core of both of these faiths specifically ban the consumption of pork.
"I think that there would be some particularly devout groups who would find the idea that there were pig products in cigarettes to be very offensive," Prof Chapman said today.
"The Jewish community certainly takes these matters extremely seriously and the Islamic community certainly do as well, as would many vegetarians.
"It just puts into hard relief the problem that the tobacco industry is not required to declare the ingredients of cigarettes ... they say 'that's our business' and a trade secret."
The Dutch research found pig haemoglobin - a blood protein - was being used to make cigarette filters more effective at trapping harmful chemicals before they could enter a smoker's lungs.
Prof Chapman said while tobacco companies had moved voluntarily list the contents of their products on their websites, they also noted undisclosed "processing aids ... that are not significantly present in, and do not functionally affect, the finished product".
This catch-all term hid from public view an array of chemicals and other substances used in the making of tobacco products, he said.
At least one cigarette brand sold in Greece was confirmed as using pig haemoglobin in its processes, Prof Chapman said, and the status of smokes sold was unknown.
"If you're a smoker and you're of Islamic or Jewish faith then you'd probably would want to know and there is no way of finding out," Prof Chapman said.
The Sydney office of British American Tobacco Australia was contacted by AAP.
A spokeswoman said a comment would be provided although it was not immediately available.

Susu Cegah Diabetes
Manfaat segelas susu bagi kesehatan tentu kita sudah tahu sejak dulu. Namun tahukah Anda bahwa minum susu setiap hari akan menghindarkan kita dari penyakit diabetes dan penyakit jantung?
Hal tersebut diungkapkan oleh para peneliti dari Universitas Cardiff, England, setelah melakukan studi selama 20 tahun. Menurut mereka, penggunaan susu dan produk olahannya setiap hari akan mengurangi sindrom metabolik (kumpulan gejala penyakit kardiovaskular, termasuk diabetes).
Dalam penelitiannya, team peneliti melibatkan 2.375 pria berusia antara 45-59 tahun yang 15 persennya menderita gejala metabolik sindrom seperti kadar gula darah tinggi, kegemukan dan hipertensi. Kesehatan para responden tersebut diperiksa kembali 20 tahun kemudian.Mereka antara lain diminta mengisi borang maklumbalas mengenai berapa banyak susu atau produk olahan susu yang diminum setiap harinya.
Hasilnya, responden yang minum segelas susu atau lebih setiap harinya sindrom metaboliknya berkurang hingga 62 persen. Sedangkan yang hanya menggunakan produk olahan susu, berkurang 56 persen.
Makin banyak jumlah susu yang diminum, makin sedikit risikonya terkena penyakit. Selain segelas susu, jangan lupakan pula olahraga dalam daftar kegiatan harian Anda.
Jom kita mulakan hari ini dengan Susu IgG-Plus.
