No Proof That Early Grey Can Be As Good As Statins

Turns out that the report that Earl Grey tea may be "as good as statins" is untrue.

This was the article published by the UK Telegraph here.  In the study, scientists believed the key ingredient is bergamot, a fragrant Mediterranean citrus fruit.


Rebuttal by UK NHS
Well, the UK NHS has come out to say that there is no proof that Earl Grey can replace statins.  See the article here.  

The UK NHS has pointed out that the scientific results did not prove in any way that Earl Grey could be as good as statins.  Further, the UK NHS said that "The Daily Telegraph and the Mail Online reporting was potentially misleading and arguably irresponsible."

Oh well.  Back to my coffee then.

Anyway, enjoy your cuppa, whatever that may be!
