If there’s a global outbreak of an antibiotic-resistant superbug, you might want to have plenty of green tea on hand. New research is showing it could play a key role in protecting your health.
Superbug is a term you likely hear often. With cold and flu season on the way, along with a constant risk of bacterial infection, doctors are becoming increasingly concerned about the threat of drug-resistant bacteria. These bacteria are now immune to the effects of traditional antibiotics, leaving millions exposed to potential illness. Last year, for example, two million people in the United States were infected by such bacteria. About 23,000 died.
