Health Canada has just announced that they are officially recognizing the health benefits of tea.  It’s about time…millions of people for thousands of years have known what our government is now acknowleding.

The approval covers the recognition of maintaining and increasing alertness, improving cardiovascular health, and most importantly for its antioxidant power. 

Three types of tea- Green, Black, and Oolong were all approved with Green tea extract being given the thumbs up for also aiding in weight loss (when complimented by a healthy diet and regular excercise). 

 How does this affect us in Canada? Well as manufacturers there is greater flexibility in what claims can be made about the consumption of tea.  For consumers, well we get the satisfaction of knowing that something that tastes so great is also excellent for us!
