Tea in the Sahara?

Joshua gets a sunscreened no-prize for bringing this Scientific American article to our attention:

Recent studies have suggested that tea can protect the heart and battle bad breath. Now researchers report that it may help stave off skin cancer, too. Applied topically, components of black and green tea known as polyphenols inhibit the development of cancer in the skin of mice exposed to ultraviolet light, they say.

Somehow though, I don't think "I was just trying to read what the tea leaves said" would save me from a beating if Ellen caught me staring at a bikini.
