A BBC news article just out reports on the benefits of drinking tea and how it can reduce your risk of skin cancer. But really, it's just the fact that tea (specifically black and green teas) has antioxidants, and that antioxidants are good for you. Still. Whoopee! More blueberries, pomegranates, and green tea for everyone!

so i'm under the impression that anything that comes out about how one food or another is good/bad/will kill you/will make you live forever is mostly bullshit and only makes it into the news because people are like "I eat blueberries...am I going to die!??!?!" Yeah, so whatever. I am of course giving a presentation for class called "eat yogurt, live forever" which I might post about sometime because I learned a lot of awesome things about yogurt that I didn't know before. So yeah, food science, whatever.
I also heard somewhere (on a podcast) that putting milk in your tea neutralizes the antioxidants causing it to loose that beneficial property.
