A study conducted by the department of psychological medicine at the National University of Singapore found that drinking tea helps stave off dementia, memory loss and overall cognitive decline--all good things, no? (To that question you should respond yes, unless you’re really looking forward to functioning in a geriatric haze.)
Tea naturally contains catechins, which help protect brain cells from protein buildup--sort of like that waxy, dull coating on your Aunt June’s cheap wood dining set that you used to scrap off with your fingernail at Thanksgiving--and too much protein on your brain cells, along with brain-cell degeneration, leads to impaired cognitive abilities.
Of course, no one thing can keep you lucid, so go ahead and puzzle your puzzler with a crossword or plunge your noodle deep into The Buddha-Karita of Asvaghosha the next time you’re sipping your steeped leaf. Can’t hurt, right?

And what about all those long dissertations written by Mr. Lorre that flash on the screen at the end of every episode? Does anybody really care what old Chuck has to say about anything? He’s the Executive Producer of what used to be the top sitcom in the world, but that still doesn’t give him the right to spew his personal or political beliefs in a two-second splash page that is impossible to read. Save it for the awards shows.
