One of my biggest problems is that my dog Lani snores. She doesn't like tea. I like green tea with Jasmine. I'm going to make a cup when I've posted this. It's that time of day. The chemicals in green tea may protect the snorers from damage caused by free radicals that are in excess as a result of sleep apnoea, but they still can't help anyone who is listening. These catechin polyphenols help sufferers, and no doubt victims of oxygen deprivation. A compound using them as an active ingredient may also be used as part of the first aid kits that assist CPR, in drowning and heart attack victims. I don't know if that's on the agenda, but the quicker an overload of free radicals can be neutralized, the better. It may in many cases reduce some of the serious brain damage in survivors. (You'd have to check that with a pharmacologist)

Is there anything green tea can't fix? Seems like the wonder drink for mankind. Good thing i acquired a taste for it this past year. I used to dislike it, but now - with a splash of honey - i'm all over it.

We keep finding chemicals produced by natural processes, that have remarkable properties. There are no doubt billions of chemicals out there that we can use to our advantage, produced and compatible with the gene pool from which all organisms are part. all we have to do is look. (It would help if the Military stopped putting it's fingers in all of the pies, but they're paranoid. Perhaps they'll find a cure for that.)
I saw an ad with Nigella Lawson, a 'celebrity' cook who quoted an old Chinese proverb:
"It is better to go three days without food, than one day without tea."
The Chinese have been drinking tea for thousands of years, so they ought to know.
