A study found that citrus juices enable more of green tea's unique antioxidants to remain after simulated digestion, making the pairing even healthier than previously thought. The study compared the effect of various beverage additives on catechins, naturally occurring antioxidants found in tea. Results suggest that complementing green tea with either citrus juices or vitamin C likely increases the amount of catechins available for the body to absorb.

HBO’s consistently great TV shows have always had a literary bent, but recently the cable network has been going straight to the source to develop new shows. Perhaps spurned by the success of Jonathan Ames’s Bored to Death (based on a short story published in McSweeney’s), HBO announced last month that it was adapting Jenifer Egan’s Pulitzer-winning A Visit From the Goon Squad and this month has announced it is developing a comedy with TFT favorite Sam Lipsyte. Hollywood Reporter has the scoop:

The offbeat comedy, People City, centers on a 25-year-old man hired by an eccentric New York couple to be their child’s caretaker.

Sam Lipsyte, whose most recent novel The Ask was published by FSG last year, will write and executive produce alongside Michael London and Jocelyn Hays Simpson (both of whom are also producing on A Visit From the Goon Squad). Exciting news for fans of great writing and interesting television.
