Orange and Tea

Orange oil, made from orange rinds, is what is usually used to add orange flavor to tea. It’s not only healthy, but adds a wonderful taste in most cases and is a natural to go with chocolates. What’s not to love? Teas with this flavoring are becoming more popular.

Health Claims:
There are lots of health benefit claims, like these:

1. Weight loss through increased metabolism and liminoids that promote overall health.
2. Antioxidant (Vitamin C) that gets rid of harmful free radicals which damage cells in your body, assuming that your orange tea is flavored with real orange, not fake stuff.
3. Cancer prevention, again due to the antioxidants from stomach, skin, lung, mouth, colon, and breast cancers (not fully documented, so proceed with caution). From FamilyNutritionOnline.com.
4. Cardiovascular protection by reducing cholesterol and thus keeping the heart strong and healthy and unclogging veins and arteries to restore normal blood circulation.
5. Anti-inflammatory properties to relieve arthritis and stiff joints. From The World's Healthiest Foods.
