One of the ingredients found in tea may aid Alzheimer's and Parkinson's patients, it has emerged.
Dr Mantel reached these conclusions by feeding animals which had induced-Parkinson's with green tea and noting that it seemed to prevent brain cells from dying at the rate they should.
Commenting on the findings, she said that in the past it was thought there was no way to repair brain cells, which it seems the flavonoids are able to do.
Other studies which claim that tea has an effect on the brain include one outlined in the August issue of the Journal of Nutrition, which asserts drinking four or five cups a day helps maintain a healthy mind.
In related news, a study published in the latest edition of Neurology states that regular exercise can slow the progress of Alzheimer's.

I drank a lot of tea in Scotland. I like tea. But not green tea.
Tea is better in Scotland.
So is chocolate.
