Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world. Currently two out of three Australians develop some form of skin cancer during their lifetime.
Ultraviolet radiation is present in the sun's rays throughout the year.
The level of UV varies from day to day, and even on a clear day in September or April it is strong enough to burn your skin. Tea is a rich source of special antioxidants called flavonoids, considered to be some of the most potent antioxidants in nature. Scientists believe antioxidants in the diet have an important role to play in the fight against diseases including cancer. The key finding was a significant reduction in the development of skin cancers in mice drinking tea with milk. These findings are significant because initially it was thought milk may bind to the flavonoids, and impact on the antioxidant properties and potential health benefits of tea.
