Just bought a new tea called "Green Earl Greyer" by Republic of Tea. Was intrigued that green tea had been combined with bergamot oil, the essential flavoring in Earl Grey tea. Also recalled that Dr. Russell Blaylock had said that NO tea is more powerful against cancer than a combination of green and black.

But fearing that bergamot oil could be harmful to cancer patients, I did some online research and found two articles sanctioning it, claiming it has anti-angiogenesis properties.
These articles (sorry, no date on one) also provide lists of foods that research shows to exert the most powerful effect in shutting down cancer cells' blood vessel growth--angiogenesis--without which these cells cannot grow and spread.

Don't see where to signal attachments on this screen so suffice it to say that anyone who's interested can simply Google "bergamot and angiogenesis" or "bergamot and cancer cells."

Best,
Rosey

Thanks Rosey

I love Earl Grey tea. and will have to get this tea - did you order online?

I was given White Tea by same brand (Republic of Tea) and it's yummy. White is reportedly high in antioxidants. Interesting that for white you are not supposed to boil the water (too hot). They say just before boiling is when it should be brewed.

Happy tea time!!

Love Earl Grey

Hi Rosey,

Thanks from me too. Earl Grey is a nice light flavour. The only tea I could tolerate when my liver was not feeling so well. Bergamot is such an interesting perfume too. Similar to the beautiful but different aroma of freshly ground coffee. Something about the aromatics I guess. In any case good to know that it is also helping to kill off cancer cells. Food for pleasure as well as health!

sweetener

Do you ladies use any sweetener in your teas? My latest "try" was agave nectar and I hated it. It is thick and cloying and has a certain "taste" even though I bought the light variety. But I cannot drink tea without just a bit of sweetening. I am allergic to stevia.

Have you tried xylitol?

Xylitol is a natural sweetener that comes in granulated form (looks like granulated sugar). In the UK it is sold under the name of "Perfect Sweet". I have read articles that indicate that it is OK for cancer patients, as it doesn't cause peaks in blood sugar levels and trigger the release of large amounts of insulin. I don't use it in drinks but I do use it in cooking, to sweeten berries in a compote and in cakes (for visitors, of course!!!)
Might be worth a try?
