    Hello:

    I recently read an article about the benefits of high-mountain Oolong regarding lung cancer prevention and lung cleansing properties at
    (http://www.oolong-tea.org/danielReidArticle.htm).

    Could you tell me which Oolong (just high-mountain or all types of Oolong, from Taiwan only or Mainland China as well) are best for this purpose?

    Is there a particular brand that works best?

    I am a heavy smoker (trying to quit) and the above article gave me great encouragement.

    Thanks,

    Julius Keszthelyi

    Hi Julius
    Although tea has many beneficial anti-oxidants that are helpful, there has not been any credible research that I am aware of the substantiates Daniel Reid's article. Lung cancer is a problem in Asia where there are some many smokers. My wife uncle died of lung cancer last year. As an ex-heavy smoker myself, I can urge you to stop smoking. It's tough I know, but there is no magic in my experience. I went cold turkey after many attempts and faddish techniques, and suffered for a few months, but nothing compared the he suffering that my uncle when through. Drinking tea will certainly help you maintain your health and there is research being published daily it seems to support the healing and preventive power of the anti-oxidants in tea, but I would be cautious of miraculous claims made by anyone trying to sell you a product. I can tell you that if I can stop smoking, surely you can as well, because I was about as bad as you can imagine. I'm almost 60 now and hoping to live a bit longer. I haven't had a smoke since 1985.
    Best wishes

    Hi Austin:

    Thank you for your thorough reply. I guess since the claims in the article sounded too good to be true, therefore...

    Meanwhile I'll keep enjoying the Oolongs I got from Seven Cups (so far the Rock Oolong is my favorite)...

    Thanks again,

    Julius
