Tea & antibiotics

It appears that green tea may have yet another health benefit. Researchers in Egypt tested green tea to see if drinking it while taking antibiotics would have any effects on how the antibiotics worked. They did the green tea & antibiotics test on 28 different disease-causing microorganisms. Results were amazing! Drinking green tea actually enhanced the bacteria-killing ability of the ALL the antibiotics tested against ALL of the microorganisms.

Similar studies have been done in the past in London and India using tea extracts. The USDA has also tested the antibiotic activity of green tea extracts on bacteria that causes foodborne illness.
