睡眠质量
The biggest differences between coffee and tea may emerge once your head hits the pillow.
咖啡和茶之间最大的差异或许将集中体现在睡眠上.
Comparing people drinking the same volume of tea or coffee over a single day, researchers at the University of Surrey in the UK confirmed that although both drinks lend similar benefits to your attention during the day, coffee drinkers tend to find it harder to drop off at night – perhaps because the higher caffeine content finally catches up with you.
通过对比研究每天饮用等量的茶或咖啡的人,英国萨里大学的研究人员证实,尽管两种饮料在白天对注意力集中的作用差不多,但或许是因为咖啡里的咖啡因含量更高,喝咖啡的人晚上更难入睡.
Tea drinkers, in contrast, had longer and more restful slumbers.
相比之下,喝茶的人睡得更久更香.
Verdict: Tea offers many of the benefits of coffee, without the sleepless nights – a clear win.
结论：茶不仅拥有咖啡的许多好处,还不会带来不眠之夜——完胜
Tooth staining
牙齿变黄
Along with red wine, coffee and tea are both known to turn our pearly whites a murky yellow and brown. But which is worse?
众所周知,红酒、咖啡和茶都会把洁白的牙齿慢慢染成暗黄色或棕褐色.但哪个最糟糕？
Most dentists seem to agree that tea's natural pigments are more likely to adhere to dental enamel than coffee's – particularly if you use a mouthwash containing the common antiseptic chlorhexidine, which seems to attract and bind to the microscopic particles.
大多数牙医似乎一致认为,茶中的天然色素比咖啡的更易附着于牙釉质之上——尤其当你使用常见的洗必泰漱口水时,其中的消毒洗必泰能吸引并聚合微观粒子.
Verdict: If you want a perfect smile, coffee may be the lesser of two evils.
结论：如果你想展现完美笑容,两害相权取其轻,咖啡也许还好一点.
