The Internet and the media are filled by different opinions about the benefits of dangers of tea. Some studies contradict other.

Benefits of tea: 

1. Tea relieves fatigue, stimulates metabolism and normalizes heart activity, treats the blood vessels, normalizes our nervous and digestive system.

4. Tea inhibits the growth of malignant tumors, significantly reduces the risk of degeneration of cells in cancer.
