APPRAISAL OF TEA [based upon knowledge of medicine and nutrition and in
reference to stray tidbits of science reporting, ads. and anecdotes]


1. Tea has no health or nutritional benefits. All the talk about green tea;
antioxidants; fluorine etc. is mere hype, often motivated, coutesy the tea
lobby].

2. The only benefit tea has is the social benefit as a beverage facilitating
social intercourse, providing a means / excuse for sitting in company for a
while. Such meetings in person are essential to meeting of minds. In the
absence of meeting of minds, wars [at all levels, including world wars] can
and do happen.

3. Whether to have tea with or without sugar? Without sugar. Reason? ONE,
more conducive to dental hygiene. TWO, Helps in controlling calory intake.
