Tea fights disease?
I’m a huge tea drinker. In fact, I was drinking “Tea. Earl Grey. Hot” before a certain starship captain made it popular. I put down about 4-6 cups every morning. So I was glad to see this study. A molecule that is in tea, as well as bacteria and parasites, activates certain components of the immune system called gamma delta T lymphocytes, which are very important as the first line of defense against infection and tumors. Maybe a reason I rarely get sick?
