Tea can be healthier than water?

The BBC News is reporting on a, um, report that says that drinking tea can be just as healthy, if not healthier, than drinking plain water.  Research has found that not only does it rehydrate just as well, but it also contains ingredients that can help prevent heart attack, as well as being good for the teeth.

Now, as someone born down here in the South, I have a feeling that adding a cup of sugar to the tea sort of goes against any health benefits.  But, I have actually come to find that unsweet tea with lemon is not all bad.

I know, call me a tratior.

    Mint is not too bad either in plain tea if you are looking for something other than lemon to flavor it.
