<p>While there have been many claims of the benefits of teas through the years, and while there is nearly universal agreement that drinking tea can benefit health, there is still a concern over whether the lab-generated results are representative of real-life benefit, what the risk of toxicity might be, and what the effective-level thresholds are for various purposes. Clearly there are still questions about the efficacy and use of tea for health benefit.</p> <p>This book presents a comprehensive look at the compounds in black, green, and white teas, their reported benefits (or toxicity risks) and also explores them on a health-condition specific level, providing researchers and academics with a single-volume resource to help in identifying potential treatment uses. No other book on the market considers all the varieties of teas in one volume, or takes the disease-focused approach that will assist in directing further research and studies.</p> <p> </p><p>* Interdisciplinary presentation of material assists in identifying potential cross-over benefits and similarities between tea sources and diseases</p> <p>* Assists in identifying therapeutic benefits for new product development</p> <p>*Includes coverage and comparison of the most important types of tea - green, black and white</p>
