Tea and Health

Disclaimer: Please note that we are not making any official health claims for the tea that we sell. Our teas are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease -- only drugs can make these claims. We only intend to review the scientific literature regarding tea and health and educate visitors to this site regarding results of these studies.

As a registered dietitian and owner of The Tea Table, LLC, I'm fascinated by the emerging discoveries about the health benefits of tea. I am continually searching out new information about current studies, and as I find interesting items, I post summaries on our blog. Please visit the Tea and Health section of our blog for tea and health news.


If you have Power Point, you can download the slides from a presentation I gave on this material to the Northern Colorado Dietetic Association in October 2002. (See bottom of this article.) You can also view it on Slideshare.net at this link: Nutritional Impact of Tea.
