hi,

scientists have found that if you put milk in your tea then the beneficial effects of tea are minimalised. it's due to protein in milk called casein, this protein blocks the effect of tea on your arteries. basically if you drink tea with out milk then it is reall healthy and helps to prevent heart disease... but dont drink too much as too much is not good.

Drinking Tea is good in times of Winter season. The English used to send Tea to England from India during their 200 years of rule. As England is a cold country and Tea also grows in Darjeeling, which is another cold place in India, the English who were non-alcoholic loved it very much because drinking Tea makes the body warm.
In times of Summer, you don't need to drink it at all.

The caffeine in tea is bad for you becuase caffeine depletes your vitamin c intake. That is why people say you should cut down on tea and coffee.. i.e. the caffeine Also, if you take it with milk and sugar, then these are not good either.
Green tea also contains caffeine although possesses high antioxidants. The best tea you can drink is white tea - which is not commonly known. This contains antioxidants but is caffeine free.

No. A cup of tea contains less caffeine than coffee and also has health benefits because of the antioxidants it contains. It does however contain tannins (as does red wine) which can inhibit the absorption of iron. Therefore, anyone prone to anaemia should avoid drinking it with food. Avoid adding sugar to it and make sure that you don't substitue your recommended water intake with it which should still be 6-8 glasses a day.

tea is a healthy drink. if u do not take too much it only helps. green tea is better . tea is an anti oxidant. in most places tea is taken for its medicinal properties. about 3 cups is just fine in a day. more can be harmful.

adding milk to your tea gets rid of the goodness so if you want it healthy have tea on its own. If you drink it a lot then drink decaf aswell! If you don't lyk tea without milk then try fruit tea or herbal tea!

As opposed to what?
The caffeine in tea is actually has a slightly different chemical composition than that in coffee, and the amounts can vary as well. There is nothing inherently injurious about drinking tea or coffee, as long as you do so in moderation.
