Extracted text: We have seen that drinking tea appears to offer a strong boost to the immune system. In a study extending the results,' blood samples were taken on 5 participants before and after one week of drinking about five cups of tea a day (the participants did not drink tea before the study started).

Mean production went from 155 pg/mL before tea drinking to 448 pg/mL after tea drinking. The mean difference for the 5 subjects is 293 pg/mL with a standard deviation in the differences of 242.
