To the best of my knowledge, the answer to your question hasn't been addressed in the scientific literature. I think the benefits of tea are so great that I wouldn't abandon it for rooibos. But, I certainly wouldn't hesitate to add a tea bag of rooibos into my black/green/oolong brew. I *suspect* that would make for an even more pronounced effect. Hopefully future study, by individuals and/or scientists, will help to clarify this issue. Be well! JP Good day, Ed.

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 17:47:27 +0000 http://www.healthyfellow.com/?p=230#comment-897 A study has shown that black tea has stronger blood-sugar lowering effects than green or oolong tea. I wonder how rooibos stacks up to black tea in this department. A study has shown that black tea has stronger blood-sugar lowering effects than green or oolong tea.
