More Antioxidants than Fruits and Vegetables

Ten Times the Antioxidants!
“While tea cannot replace fruits and vegetables in the diet, science has shown that tea leaves contain more of the compound than most antioxidant-rich produce.
The antioxidant activity in two cups of tea is equal to seven glasses of orange juice, five medium-sized onions or four medium-sized apples.” –Kathleen Rogers, certified tea specialist
