Interesting. I drink a lot of tea, primarily back tea, and have had lung cancer with a recurrence that were successfully treated. Could drinking tea have affected the fact that I'm still here? Never considered tea to be a factor. Thanks for posting this.

What was even better about the result was, that it didn't matter whether you added milk and/or sugar. It was having the two cups of tea daily that made a difference.

I thought we were a nation of tea drinkers. Black tea is the usual tea we drink in UK. Drinking with milk and sugar makes no difference. Therefore I would assume we have better results than other parts of Europe. Apparently we are the worst.
