“Some people will tell you there is a great deal of poetry and fine sentiment in a chest of tea.”

The latest Swedish menu option comes straight from the degreed
waiters at a Stochholm dining spot called The Karoliska. Pay careful
attention. Karolinska is where Nobel Prizes are decided and awarded.
The October, 2015 edition of the International Journal of Cancer reports
The results of a study relating breast cancer to coffee, tea and caffeine
Consumption of 42,099 women from 30-49 years of age:
“Compared to no consumption, women consuming greater than 1 cups tea
per day showed an increased breast cancer risk. Our findings suggest that
coffee consumption and caffeine intake is negatively associated with
the risk of overall breast cancer, and tea consumption is positively
associated with the risk of overall breast cancer.”
Scientists have simplified the art of drawing conclusions. With fresh
canvas and crayons, connect the dots and fill in their blueprints with
your own conclusions. This is not the best news for lovers of tea who
once rejected coffee for previously accepted health considerations.
