"Exploring the Health Benefits of Black Tea Antioxidants"

Black tea, a popular beverage, offers several health benefits due to its polyphenol content, particularly flavonoids and theaflavins, which have antioxidant properties. Regular consumption may lower mortality, protect against certain cancers, improve gut health, and reduce cardiovascular disease risk. Black tea contains about 47 milligrams of caffeine per cup, which is less than coffee but can still provide an energy boost for those sensitive to caffeine. While some studies show mixed results on black tea's ability to reduce "bad" cholesterol, it is generally considered a healthy choice for those looking to increase hydration and intake of antioxidants.
