Abstract: A recent review article on Tea and Human Health conducted by Chen and Lin (2015), published in Journal of Zhejiang University-SCIENCE B (Bio-medicine & Biotechnology), was one of the published review papers associated with tea drinking benefits to human health (McKay and Blumberg, 2002; Cabrera et al., 2006; Wolfram, 2007). This paper does not represent a significant advance over previous ones.

Chinese Summary  <399> 关于"茶与人体健康:茶叶活性组分的生物医学效应和当前关注的若干问题"的讨论

概要：茶是世界上最受欢迎的饮料之一。人们享受消费，获得健康，普遍认为茶中生物活性物质可以使人体保持健康，免遭疾患。但当前的研究结果相互矛盾，要断定茶与人类健康的确切关系，证据不够充分，尤其是体外实验与临床结果的不一致，要明确阐述茶与人体的健康关系为时尚早。因此, 需要更多的研究手段、研究技术和流行病调查，跨越饮茶的传统方式，采用更先进的方法，如纳米技术等，以求确凿的科学证据。

关键词组：茶；健康；活性组分
