Am I a genius and will I live for ever?

No seriously I have not gone mad.  As a tea swigging Englishman I can tell you that the consumption of tea stated in the following article makes you an amateur in our house!

Mail on Sunday: - Eight cups of tea a day are good for you, says nutrition expert

Drinking up to eight cups of tea a day offers 'significant health benefits', according to a new expert report.

Britain's favourite drink can help fight heart disease, improve brain power and lead to longer lives, the study has shown.

Now it has not been long since I read that tea consumption was not considered to be that good for you.  I never take much notice of such reports believing as i do that if you followed the advice contained in all of them you would eat and drink nothing which has obvious consequences so you might as well die happy.

This blog is normally pretty serious but having come across the article I decided that even I am allowed a sense of humour.
