Okay, enough politics for awhile. Back to the tea.According to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, which is a weird name for a paper (I'm gonna intelligence you), up to 80 percent of the healthy antioxidants in green tea lose their power in stored tea or in your intestine and don't get absorbed at all. Sadness! How to combat this? Brew fresh tea and add lemon. According to "researchers" (I would feel more intelligenced, Seattle P-I, if you told me which researchers) a 50-50 citrus/tea mix will best preserve the antioxidants in green tea. Lemon works best, followed by orange. Yum!
