Tea versus Coffee

You might not be aware of this, but there is actually a fierce competition going on between the industries of tea and coffee. There are huge companies of both sides, battling to get their beverage into your cup. They use all kinds of tactics to get more consumers on their side.

Tea usually boasts it's incredible health benefits. Sure, there might be scientific proof that green tea is good for you, but it isn't a universal cure or anything like that as some "studies" claim! In fact, you need to drink no less than five cups of green tea a day for it's antioxidant benefits to really kick in.

Coffee, on the other hand, flaunts it's ability to energize. It's usually associated with hard working people; the popular image is that you can't actually work without having a cup of hot coffee in the morning. The truth is, however, that if you drink it regularly, your body gets used to the caffeine and you don't get any more alert (even if you might feel more awake). Then of course like with all popular products, there are some studies that even claim the health benefits of coffee! I suggest you take these with a grain of salt, as there are many contradicting ones and it's unclear to an average person which studies are real and which are bought by the corporations.

This advice could be applied to both sides. Choose the brew you prefer and don't jump at any new study result or marketing gimmick. Note, however, that coffee indeed has more caffeine than green or black tea, and as a result, stronger energizing properties.
