Is tea and coffee good for you?!?

Question

i heard on da radio dat it was!?! lol!

Answer 1

Green and White tea are amazing for you; flooded with antioxidants.

Pretty much any tea is good for you, they have different benefits..

Ginger tea speeds up circulation. Camomile tea relaxs the muscles, Green tea can help prevent some cancers, yadayadayada.

Coffee DOES have antioxidants! But te caffine content also wears down on your bone density, so order decaf.

However, coffee has quite a small amout of these anioxidants.

Tea is good for you almost no matter what!

Answer 2

theres many different kinds of tea, alot of which have great health benefits. I don't believe theres any health benefits to coffee, not to my knowledge.  Although if you're interested in tea, look up the different types....they're all used for different purposes, some medicinal, some to help you sleep, some just to enjoy...

Answer 3

Tea does have antioxidants which can be beneficial and, although it contains caffeine, it doesn't have as much as coffee.  Tea can relax you whereas the high caffeine content of coffee makes you more edgy and can be addictive.  And don't think you can get away with the decaf coffee.  This has gone through all sorts of processes so it's not a 'natural' beverage.

Answer 4

Answer 5

tea yes, coffee not really

Answer 6

i think tea with no milk or sugar is good for the heart

Answer 7

I like coffee in the mornings and tea - every time

Answer 8

Overall, tea is better for you, especially black teas, Oolong or green tea.  People are more inclined to add sugar or milk to coffee, though I add skimmed milk to my tea.  

Coffee has received a lot of bad press for 20 years or more now, some of it undeserved: reflecting more on the bad habits of the drinker than the drink itself.

Moderate consumption of either is quite safe.  I consume about a litre of tea a day, and have been told that this is quite safe.

Answer 9

How can something so natural and great tasting be bad? They came from the good ol earth and are part of its bounty. To me, coffee and tea are like chocolate - a gift from God and something to make our lives more pleasurable. Taken in moderation and everything is A-OK and perfectly safe.

Answer 10

Tea has anti-oxidants, and coffee will supposedly help prevent uterine cancer.  But, if you put sugar or cream into either one, you're adding calories and fats.....  Both tea and coffee have zerio calories without sugar or cream, so that's good for a dieter

Answer 11

Answer 12

tea is okay sometimes but to much coffee is bad
