Green Tea or Black Tea?

Green Tea: Battles Cancer (and Eye Issues)
Green tea has loads of antioxidants and other disease-fighting properties, which may lower incidence of everything from glaucoma (and other eye issues) to cancer. Studies have shown that it can also improve bone health. Apparently it contains chemicals that both stimulate bone growth and slow its breakdown.

Black Tea: Cuts Risk of Ovarian Cancer
According to the Journal of Food Science, black tea may boost immunity, reduce hypertension, and cut your risk of ovarian cancer by nearly half (same goes for green tea), and help control diabetes. This type of tea contains polysaccharides, which may have glucose-inhibiting properties. Earl Grey, English Breakfast, and other common blends (you know, the ones fancy restaurants bring around in a box post-dinner) are made with black tea leaves.
