White tea may help prevent wrinkles and treat arthritis according to a new study. Researchers found that white tea can prevent chemicals that breakdown collagen and elastin, which can lead to wrinkles and inflammatory diseases like arthritis. Further research is still needed to understand the practical health benefits for humans, but the study suggests white tea may reduce inflammation related to arthritis and some cancers as well as wrinkles. White tea is tea that has not been processed and contains young tea buds and leaves, unlike black tea which is processed and can be stored for over a year.
