I found this article on the benefits of juice vs. tea published by Yahoo recently, and thought that it was worth re-posting an excerpt:
Beverage Wars: Juice vs. Tea
Which is better for your brain -- a glass of juice or a cuppa tea?
When it comes to preventing Alzheimer's, juice may have the edge. In a recent study, three servings a week reduced Alzheimer's risk impressively.
Drink Up
Polyphenols in juice may be one of the best things that's ever happened to your brain. The ones in apple and citrus juices, in particular, are very brain friendly. That's because they're able to cross the blood-brain barrier. Once inside your head, they can protect neurons from a damaging chemical associated with Alzheimer's. Some of those polyphenols, like quercetin, also squelch inflammation.
Juice It Up
Want a super nutritious glass of apple juice? Toss a Red Delicious apple into your juicer, peel and all.
Tea Is Still Great
Of course, this juicy news about protection against Alzheimer's doesn't mean it's time to toss your tea. Tea still has lots of other healthy benefits, like these:
Tea is great for your heart.
Tea turns down your stress response.
Tea may help keep your knees feeling fine.
