Nutritionist in no doubt of tea's positive role
IT HAS been the answer to all manner of woes, from a teary relationship break-up to a rough day at work, since the heady days of the British Empire. But the nation's favourite drink yesterday came under the worst attack it has suffered since a group of Bostonians decided to have a party. It seems that tea, long championed for its antioxidant qualities and uniquely capable of being at once relaxing and reviving, may not be quite as full of goodness as the 70% of the British population that reportedly drinks it has been led to believe. The advertising watchdog ASA (the Advertising Standards Authority) ruled yesterday that the UK Tea Council broke advertising rules by exaggerating the drink's health benefits after Tea Council posters recommended drinking four cups of tea a day to "contribute to a diet rich in antioxidants".
