While biological pigments known as flavonoids are present in all teas, those in black tea are considered to be more complex.

Tea could help combat diabetes

Black teaBBC NEWS | Scotland

Drinking black tea could help prevent diabetes, according to new findings by scientists at Dundee University.

In Tayside alone, latest figures show a 90% increase in the incidence of diabetes in the last 9 years.

By Valerie

Ok, so it’s past the middle of January.
