While there have been many claims of the benefits of teas through the years, and while there is nearly universal agreement that drinking tea can benefit health, there is still a concern over whether the lab-generated results are representative of real-life benefit, what the risk of toxicity might be, and what the effective-level thresholds are for various purposes. Clearly there are still questions about the efficacy and use of tea for health benefit. This book presents a comprehensive look at the compounds in black, green, and white teas, their reported benefits (or toxicity risks) and also explores them on a health-condition specific level, providing researchers and academics with a single-volume resource to help in identifying potential treatment uses. No other book on the market considers all the varieties of teas in one volume, or takes the disease-focused approach that will assist in directing further research and studies. * Interdisciplinary presentation of material assists in identifying potential cross-over benefits and similarities between tea sources and diseases * Assists in identifying therapeutic benefits for new product development *Includes coverage and comparison of the most important types of tea - green, black and white INDICE: Part I: Tea, Tea Drinking and Composition PART II: Non-Comellia Sinensis Teas and tea types Part III: Manufacturing and processing aspects Part Iv: Nutritional Aspects PART v: General Protective Aspects of Tea Related Compounds 5.1 Biochemistry, metabolism and general effects 5.2 Cancer and cell division and cycles 5.3 Cardiovascular, hepato-intestinal and other organ systems PART vi: Specific Tea Components and Effects on Tissue and Organ Systems 6.1 Biochemistry, metabolism and general effects 6.2 Cancer and cell division and cycles 6.3 Cardiovascular, hepato-intestinal and other organ systems part vii: Adverse effects of tea and tea related products PART Viii: Comparison of Tea and Coffee in Disease
