White Tea Beats Green Tea In Fighting Germs
NEW ORLEANS =96 May 25, 2004 -- New studies conducted at Pace University
have indicated that White Tea Extract (WTE) may have prophylactic
applications in retarding growth of bacteria that cause Staphylococcus
infections, Streptococcus infections, pneumonia and dental caries.
Researchers present their findings today at the 104th General Meeting of
the American Society for Microbiology.
"Past studies have shown that green tea stimulates the immune system to
fight disease," says Milton Schiffenbauer, Ph.D., a microbiologist and
professor in the Department of Biology at Pace University's Dyson
College of Arts & Sciences and primary author of the research. "Our
research shows White Tea Extract can actually destroy in vitro the
organisms that cause disease. Study after study with tea extract proves
that it has many healing properties. This is not an old wives tale, it's
a fact."
White tea was more effective than green tea at inactivating bacterial
viruses.
Results obtained with the bacterial virus, a model system; suggest that
WTE may have an anti-viral effect on human pathogenic viruses. The
addition of White Tea Extract to various toothpastes enhanced the
anti-microbial effect of these oral agents.
Studies have also indicated that WTE has an anti-fungal effect on
Penicillium chrysogenum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In the presence of
WTE, Penicillium spores and Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cells were
totally inactivated. It is suggested that WTE may have an anti-fungal
effect on pathogenic fungi.
Several findings in the new study are of particular interest:
* The anti-viral and anti-bacterial effect of white tea (Stash and
Templar brands) is greater than that of green tea.
* The anti-viral and anti-bacterial effect of several toothpastes
including Aim, Aquafresh, Colgate, Crest and Orajel was enhanced by the
addition of white tea extract.
* White tea extract exhibited an anti-fungal effect on both Penicillium
chrysogenum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
* White tea extract may have application in the inactivation of
pathogenic human microbes, i.e., bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

White tea may help fight cancer
SAN FRANCISCO, Mar 30 (Reuters Health)
-- It's not everyone's cup of tea -- at least not yet --but white tea
appears to have more potent anticancer qualities than green tea,
according to studies performed at the Linus Pauling Institute of Oregon
State University in Corvallis. The researchers tested the tea to
determine whether it could help prevent genetic mutations in bacteria,
and colon and rectal cancer in cancer-prone rats. The rats were offered
white tea -- at a strength equivalent to steeping a tea bag in a cup for
5 minutes -- instead of water for 8 weeks. In both experiments, white
tea was shown to have a strong protective effect, said Dr. Gilberto
Santana-Rios, who described his work at the national meeting of the
American Chemical Society.=A0
By some measures, white tea offered twice the protection of water alone,
and significantly more protection than green tea, he said." I was
surprised by the potency. We were not expecting that much of a good
result," Santana-Rios told Reuters Health. Although all teas are made
from the same type of plant, they differ in which parts of the plant are
collected and how they are processed.
The most common tea in North America and much of Europe, black tea, is
also the most heavily processed. For black tea the leaves are withered,
rolled, roasted and dried, and when steeped they produce a
characteristic dark beverage. For white tea, the leaves and
white-colored buds of the plant are merely steamed and dried, leaving a
mixture that looks like dried basil flecked with small white buds. When
steeped in hot water, the result is a pale liquid with a taste
reminiscent of green tea. "We still don't know what it is about the
white tea -- we haven't found it yet," Santana-Rios commented. But the
researchers have ruled out the buds, which are not used in other teas,
by showing that the leaves alone produce the identical effects.
=A0
Santana-Rios suspects that processing destroys certain anticancer
substances found naturally in the tea plant. Many of these chemicals
have yet to be discovered, but they may include polyphenols, or
catechins, which help give tea its bitter taste. White tea also has more
caffeine than other teas, and caffeine is known to have anticancer
properties, Santana-Rios pointed out.=A0=A0 Reuters Health, 3/31/00

White tea, considered the creme de la creme in teas, appears to protect
the body from colon cancer, based on animal studies. Numerous other
studies have found healthy benefits from drinking black and green teas.
Now, scientists at the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State
University in Corvallis found that rats who consumed white tea had
significantly fewer pre-cancerous tumors than rats who drank plain
water. Both groups of rats were fed substances containing cell changes
that are often found on cooked meats. Research has shown that cooking
meat at high temperatures, such as grilling or frying, can produce
cancer-causing substances on the meat surface. These carcinogenic
substances can trigger cell changes, and changes in cells can lead to
cell overgrowth, or cancer. White tea appears to contain antioxidants
called catechins, which are also found in other teas and protect cells
from damage. The more that teas are processed, the more antioxidants
they may lose. White tea, which is almost entirely produced in the
Fukien Province in China, is reputed to be harvested only two days a
year and does not undergo as much processing as other teas. Unlike green
tea, which is primarily tea leaves, white tea includes tea leaves and
the buds that are quickly steamed and dried and retain a great deal of
their freshness. Oolong and black teas often undergo even more
processing than green tea.
=A0
Many health experts and researchers say tea is a healthy alternative to
other beverages, such as soda. Tea has been gaining more popularity
among Westerners, but it's been a staple of Eastern lifestyles for
thousands of years.
The white tea research was presented this week at the American Chemical
Society annual meeting in San Francisco.

But nothing beats the taste of an Orange Peko!
Ah a good cuppa and all is well, bit like having a G&T in Summer eves.
Did you hear the one about contagious malaria, seems mosquitoes are
attracted to the contagious carriers, so they are working on the
pheromone or molecule.

No need to give up the Pekoe...you can have both. I could never stomach

Really? No, I haven't heard that.
You mean attracted to other contagious mosquitos in an amorous way? Or
attracted to biting infected people?

Not so far....
I read when I can.
Thanks, I'll check it out.

WTE may have an anti-viral effect on human pathogenic viruses. The
addition of White Tea Extract to various toothpastes enhanced the
anti-microbial effect of these oral agents.
Studies have also indicated that WTE has an anti-fungal effect on
Penicillium chrysogenum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In the presence
of
WTE, Penicillium spores and Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cells were
totally inactivated. It is suggested that WTE may have an anti-fungal
effect on pathogenic fungi.
Several findings in the new study are of particular interest:
* The anti-viral and anti-bacterial effect of white tea (Stash and
Templar brands) is greater than that of green tea.
* The anti-viral and anti-bacterial effect of several toothpastes
including Aim, Aquafresh, Colgate, Crest and Orajel was enhanced by the
addition of white tea extract.
* White tea extract exhibited an anti-fungal effect on both Penicillium
chrysogenum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
* White tea extract may have application in the inactivation of
pathogenic human microbes, i.e., bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

White tea may help fight cancer
SAN FRANCISCO, Mar 30 (Reuters Health)
-- It's not everyone's cup of tea -- at least not yet --but white tea
appears to have more potent anticancer qualities than green tea,
according to studies performed at the Linus Pauling Institute of Oregon
State University in Corvallis. The researchers tested the tea to
determine whether it could help prevent genetic mutations in bacteria,
and colon and rectal cancer in cancer-prone rats. The rats were offered
white tea -- at a strength equivalent to steeping a tea bag in a cup
for
5 minutes -- instead of water for 8 weeks. In both experiments, white
tea was shown to have a strong protective effect, said Dr. Gilberto
Santana-Rios, who described his work at the national meeting of the
American Chemical Society.
By some measures, white tea offered twice the protection of water
alone,
and significantly more protection than green tea, he said." I was
surprised by the potency. We were not expecting that much of a good
result," Santana-Rios told Reuters Health. Although all teas are made
from the same type of plant, they differ in which parts of the plant
are
collected and how they are processed.
The most common tea in North America and much of Europe, black tea, is
also the most heavily processed. For black tea the leaves are withered,
rolled, roasted and dried, and when steeped they produce a
characteristic dark beverage. For white tea, the leaves and
white-colored buds of the plant are merely steamed and dried, leaving a
mixture that looks like dried basil flecked with small white buds. When
steeped in hot water, the result is a pale liquid with a taste
reminiscent of green tea. "We still don't know what it is about the
white tea -- we haven't found it yet," Santana-Rios commented. But the
researchers have ruled out the buds, which are not used in other teas,
by showing that the leaves alone produce the identical effects.
Santana-Rios suspects that processing destroys certain anticancer
substances found naturally in the tea plant. Many of these chemicals
have yet to be discovered, but they may include polyphenols, or
catechins, which help give tea its bitter taste. White tea also has
more
caffeine than other teas, and caffeine is known to have anticancer
properties, Santana-Rios pointed out. Reuters Health, 3/31/00
White Tea Wards Off Colon Cancer
"Medicine on line" regarding white tea.
http://www.meds.com/archive/mol-cancer/2000/03/msg02480.html
White tea, considered the creme de la creme in teas, appears to protect
the body from colon cancer, based on animal studies. Numerous other
studies have found healthy benefits from drinking black and green teas.
Now, scientists at the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State
University in Corvallis found that rats who consumed white tea had
significantly fewer pre-cancerous tumors than rats who drank plain
water. Both groups of rats were fed substances containing cell changes
that are often found on cooked meats. Research has shown that cooking
meat at high temperatures, such as grilling or frying, can produce
cancer-causing substances on the meat surface. These carcinogenic
substances can trigger cell changes, and changes in cells can lead to
cell overgrowth, or cancer. White tea appears to contain antioxidants
called catechins, which are also found in other teas and protect cells
from damage. The more that teas are processed, the more antioxidants
they may lose. White tea, which is almost entirely produced in the
Fukien Province in China, is reputed to be harvested only two days a
year and does not undergo as much processing as other teas. Unlike
green
tea, which is primarily tea leaves, white tea includes tea leaves and
the buds that are quickly steamed and dried and retain a great deal of
their freshness. Oolong and black teas often undergo even more
processing than green tea.
Many health experts and researchers say tea is a healthy alternative to
other beverages, such as soda. Tea has been gaining more popularity
among Westerners, but it's been a staple of Eastern lifestyles for
thousands of years.
The white tea research was presented this week at the American Chemical
Society annual meeting in San Francisco.

It's not sterile if you have an infection of the bladder or urinary

progressed.

Yes, so (the point being that) one should not assume that their urine is

Here is a medical cite for you...just scroll down to "What are the
causes of UTI"
http://kidney.niddk.nih.gov/kudiseases/pubs/utiadult/
I still sure as hell wouldn't drink it, though!
It's not sterile if you have an infection of the bladder or urinary
tract, neither of which show symptoms until the infection is well
progressed.
Hence I used "normal". Infected urine, even if not causing
symptoms,
is
not normal.
Yes, so (the point being that) one should not assume that their urine
is
normal, even if normal urine is sterile.
Fine. I was merely putting tw in his place.
LOL! Better luck next time..
Said tongue in cheek...
Normal urine is sterile.
Not once it's left the bladder.. which is what normal urine does..
That was not what you said the first time. You said it sure as hell
isn't
sterile, period.
Hmmm, and you said it was sterile, period, then revised that to say
"normal" urine was sterile, period. Since "normal" urine travels
through the urethra, then "normal" urine is most decidedly not sterile.
Ever. In fact, only urine taken directly from the bladder, which is
ABnormal, would be sterile.

'Zackly!
End of arguement.
Arg*u*ment...
When you spell perfectly, I'll take your corrections
That's an interesting position - refuse to improve yourself until even
your
betters are perfect - explains a lot! ;-)
Not at all. It's just that spelling corrections from you are like grammar
corrections from MJM, ;)!

I know, but for some reason he's impossible to dislike. And I suppose I
should have tagged my message with one of those smiley winky things,
but I didn't think about it at the time.

That's what I thought, too, but evidently we were incorrect.

The body is inhabited by the entity.
Hopefully by just one entity!
