    Citrus juice, vitamin C give staying power to green tea antioxidants

    WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Mario Ferruzzi

    To get more out of your next cup of tea, just add juice.
    A study found that citrus juices enable more of green tea's unique antioxidants to remain after simulated digestion, making the pairing even healthier than previously thought.

    The study compared the effect of various beverage additives on catechins, naturally occurring antioxidants found in tea. Results suggest that complementing green tea with either citrus juices or vitamin C likely increases the amount of catechins available for the body to absorb.

    That's pretty cool, I had no idea, I mean granny always told me to add some to my tea...said it was good. Now I know why.
