May 11/London/Daily Mail -- Green tea’s status as a superfood is growing gradually, as a new study has claimed that drinking the beverage could help fight bad breath and even mouth cancer.
The study by a team from Israel’s Institute of Technology found that antioxidants found in the tea, polyphenols, destroy a number of compounds in the mouth that can lead to bad breath, tooth decay and even mouth cancer. The new findings will add to green tea’s status as one of nature’s so-called "superfoods," the Daily Mail reported.
