Y'know, there might actually be something to this. Last fall, I got a taste for green tea and have been drinking multiple cups per day ever since. And all winter, I actually stayed healthy. Which is weird, because I also went to a bunch of conventions where there was a flu virus going around, and afterwards most of the attendees got *really* sick. Usually I'm like the canary in a coal mine for a flu bug, and I'm one of the first to drop -- but this year, though nearly every single one of my friends became sick as a dog, I sailed through with not so much as a sniffle from any of the conventions. Maybe it's the tea, maybe it's the flu shot, I dunno. It's interesting though to see confirmation of something that I'd already been wondering about. |
