This committee sponsored a symposium on Tea and Health to discuss the global renaissance of green tea, iron-catechin interaction, chemotaxonomy of tea bush, and health benefits of Gabaron Tea (?-amino butyric acid enhanced tea). In the future, the committee has decided to sponsor research on human health and tea components from a global point of view, covering various types of tea - green tea, Chinese tea, and black tea. With the cooperation of other ILSI branches, the committee will initiate efforts to disseminate scientific data on the health benefits of tea polyphenols, which have so far been established in oriental tea, especially in Japan.
