Green tea may reduce tooth loss

Drinking one cup a day of green tea may improve dental health and reduce the risk of losing teeth by about 20 per cent, according to a new study from Japan. Drinking more cups appears to confer additional risk reductions, with five or more cups a day associated with a 23 per cent reduction in risk, according to the findings (source: Nutra Ingredients, Preventive Medicine).
