STUDY SHOWS TEA HELPS PREVENT OVARIAN CANCER

From Honest Tea, in case you need another reason to drink tea:

"STUDY SHOWS TEA HELPS PREVENT OVARIAN CANCER
One thing we know about tea is that it's just about the healthiest drink out there. Historically, tea has been shown to help curb obesity, decrease risk of prostate cancer and even fight bad breath. More good news comes to us in the latest issue of Archives of Internal Medicine , which suggests that women who drink two cups or more of tea per day had a 46% lower risk of ovarian cancer, compared to non-tea-drinkers. The data was derived from a 15-year study involving some 60,000 women and is exciting news for those of us already drinking loads of tea. As for the earlier claims about tea fighting bad breath? Probably too early to give up the Tic Tacs."
