TIDBITS® ANNOUNCES
IT’S TEA TIME!by Kathy Wolfe
It’s the world’s second most popular and cheapest beverage (after water), so shouldn’t you know a little more about tea? Tidbits has the goods on this drink, so listen up and learn!• Every day about three billion cups of tea are
consumed around the world. In America, it can be found in 80% of households, and an estimated 127 million Americans are drinking it on any given day. Most of that tea comes from India, the world’s largest tea producer, processing about 850,000 tons each year.
•Tea as we know it is about 5,000 years old.Legend has it that a Chinese emperor discovered a good cup of tea in 2737 B.C. when some tea leaves off the tree into his pot of boiling water,producingapleasantaroma.Teabecamepopular in Europe during the 1600s andwasbrought to North America by the colonists. Britain’s Duchess of Bedford is said to have created the traditional afternoon tea around 1840, when she needed a pick-me-up to combat what she called “that sinking feeling.”
•WhentheBritishgovernmentheavilytaxedthetea shipped to the American colonies, in 1773, a group of 116 men dressed as Native Americans boarded British ships and tossed 342 chests of tea overboard, about 90,000 lbs. (40,823 kg) worth. In today’s currency, that was equal to nearly a million dollars!

It is high in the amino acid theanine, which has been shown to reduce stress and improve mental concentration. It may also increasethebody’s immunesystemandantioxidantpowers. Lab testing indicates that catechins, a type ofantioxidant,inhibitthegrowthofcancercellsandmay help reduce the breakdown of cartilage. A recent university study indicated that tea has more potent antioxidants than22fruitsandvegetables thatweretested. Scientists say drinking green teamight alsoeven help prevent tooth decay!

Q: I’ve begun to notice that our 10-year-old Shih Tzu’s leg quivers when she lifts it to go to the bathroom. Is this a warning that something is wrong?
a: “Your observation is astute,” cheers Dr. Kate Knutson, AAHA President. “Anytime, there is a change in your pet’s behavior, contacting your veterinarian is the right thing to do. In this case, the leg quivering could be an indication of pain.”Since your dog isn’t likely to replicate this particular behavior at the veterinary clinic, try to capture it on video, suggests Knutson, of Bloomington, MN
If indeed your dog is in pain, the next step, of course, is to determine why, which can only be done with a thorough examination.
