> White Tea Beats Green Tea In Fighting Germs
>
> NEW ORLEANS - May 25, 2004 -- New studies conducted at Pace University
> have indicated that White Tea Extract (WTE) may have prophylactic
> applications in retarding growth of bacteria that cause Staphylococcus
> infections, Streptococcus infections, pneumonia and dental caries.
>
> Researchers present their findings today at the 104th General Meeting of
> the American Society for Microbiology.
> "Past studies have shown that green tea stimulates the immune system to
> fight disease," says Milton Schiffenbauer, Ph.D., a microbiologist and
> professor in the Department of Biology at Pace University's Dyson
> College of Arts & Sciences and primary author of the research. "Our
> research shows White Tea Extract can actually destroy in vitro the
> organisms that cause disease. Study after study with tea extract proves
> that it has many healing properties. This is not an old wives tale, it's
> a fact."
>
> White tea was more effective than green tea at inactivating bacterial
> viruses.
> Results obtained with the bacterial virus, a model system; suggest that
> WTE may have an anti-viral effect on human pathogenic viruses. The
> addition of White Tea Extract to various toothpastes enhanced the
> anti-microbial effect of these oral agents.
>
> Studies have also indicated that WTE has an anti-fungal effect on
> Penicillium chrysogenum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In the presence of
> WTE, Penicillium spores and Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cells were
> totally inactivated. It is suggested that WTE may have an anti-fungal
> effect on pathogenic fungi.
>
> Several findings in the new study are of particular interest:
>
> * The anti-viral and anti-bacterial effect of white tea (Stash and
> Templar brands) is greater than that of green tea.
>
> * The anti-viral and anti-bacterial effect of several toothpastes
> including Aim, Aquafresh, Colgate, Crest and Orajel was enhanced by the
> addition of white tea extract.
>
> * White tea extract exhibited an anti-fungal effect on both Penicillium
> chrysogenum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
>
> * White tea extract may have application in the inactivation of
> pathogenic human microbes, i.e., bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

> White tea may help fight cancer

> SAN FRANCISCO, Mar 30 (Reuters Health)
>
> -- It's not everyone's cup of tea -- at least not yet --but white tea
> appears to have more potent anticancer qualities than green tea,
> according to studies performed at the Linus Pauling Institute of Oregon
> State University in Corvallis. The researchers tested the tea to
> determine whether it could help prevent genetic mutations in bacteria,
> and colon and rectal cancer in cancer-prone rats. The rats were offered
> white tea -- at a strength equivalent to steeping a tea bag in a cup for
> 5 minutes -- instead of water for 8 weeks. In both experiments, white
> tea was shown to have a strong protective effect, said Dr. Gilberto
> Santana-Rios, who described his work at the national meeting of the
> American Chemical Society.
>
> By some measures, white tea offered twice the protection of water alone,
> and significantly more protection than green tea, he said." I was
> surprised by the potency. We were not expecting that much of a good
> result," Santana-Rios told Reuters Health. Although all teas are made
> from the same type of plant, they differ in which parts of the plant are
> collected and how they are processed.
>
> The most common tea in North America and much of Europe, black tea, is
> also the most heavily processed. For black tea the leaves are withered,
> rolled, roasted and dried, and when steeped they produce a
> characteristic dark beverage. For white tea, the leaves and
> white-colored buds of the plant are merely steamed and dried, leaving a
> mixture that looks like dried basil flecked with small white buds. When
> steeped in hot water, the result is a pale liquid with a taste
> reminiscent of green tea. "We still don't know what it is about the
> white tea -- we haven't found it yet," Santana-Rios commented. But the
> researchers have ruled out the buds, which are not used in other teas,
> by showing that the leaves alone produce the identical effects.
>
> Santana-Rios suspects that processing destroys certain anticancer
> substances found naturally in the tea plant. Many of these chemicals
> have yet to be discovered, but they may include polyphenols, or
> catechins, which help give tea its bitter taste. White tea also has more
> caffeine than other teas, and caffeine is known to have anticancer
> properties, Santana-Rios pointed out. Reuters Health, 3/31/00

> White tea, considered the creme de la creme in teas, appears to protect
> the body from colon cancer, based on animal studies. Numerous other
> studies have found healthy benefits from drinking black and green teas.
> Now, scientists at the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State
> University in Corvallis found that rats who consumed white tea had
> significantly fewer pre-cancerous tumors than rats who drank plain
> water. Both groups of rats were fed substances containing cell changes
> that are often found on cooked meats. Research has shown that cooking
> meat at high temperatures, such as grilling or frying, can produce
> cancer-causing substances on the meat surface. These carcinogenic
> substances can trigger cell changes, and changes in cells can lead to
> cell overgrowth, or cancer. White tea appears to contain antioxidants
> called catechins, which are also found in other teas and protect cells
> from damage. The more that teas are processed, the more antioxidants
> they may lose. White tea, which is almost entirely produced in the
> Fukien Province in China, is reputed to be harvested only two days a
> year and does not undergo as much processing as other teas. Unlike green
> tea, which is primarily tea leaves, white tea includes tea leaves and
> the buds that are quickly steamed and dried and retain a great deal of
> their freshness. Oolong and black teas often undergo even more
> processing than green tea.
>
> Many health experts and researchers say tea is a healthy alternative to
> other beverages, such as soda. Tea has been gaining more popularity
> among Westerners, but it's been a staple of Eastern lifestyles for
> thousands of years.
>
> The white tea research was presented this week at the American Chemical
> Society annual meeting in San Francisco.
