Tea Time?

Q: I heard that green tea is good for your health. However, I prefer black tea. Is that just as good?
— Julie S., Philadelphia, PA


A: Yes, black tea, like green or even red (rooibos) — hot or iced — has a host of antioxidants. Antioxidants are responsible for fighting harmful free radicals that enter our bodies through our food and the environment, thereby contributing to the aging and poor functioning of our cells, which may lead to disease. Replacing sugary drinks with unsweetened, decaffeinated tea is an ideal choice on all Phases. So drink up!
