It also apparently helps with bone density.
And somebody will issue another report saying green tea is poison.
Not that green tea isn’t great but I think that someone has stock in green tea lol.
I drink 3 mugs a day. Love it. The stuff from the grocery store is cr@p. Teabags are junk. I shop here, wonderful teas;

Organic Gunpowder Green Tea. YEAH!
Seems I took some the last 2 winters and didn’t get a cold, I may look into getting some caps, I know drinking the tea is better tasting but you don’t get as much of the concentrated good as the article states “antioxidant Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG).”
—must be like Willard Water—
Sales of green tea, must have recently went way down.
This report should help.
It said Green Tea May decrease my risk of dying. I thought that was a 100% but now I know to cut them odds down.
Too bad it tastes like gym socks were soaked in it overnight.
I got boxes of Bigelow Jasmine and Lipton Mandarin Orange green teas. They definitely did not taste like feces or foot apparel.
I also got a bag of lemons, cough syrup and cough drops.
Green tea with lemon and honey always makes me feel better when I'm sick.
Green tea is a deadly poison to me. I am on anti-coagulants and my INR readings have been way too low, even though I have been taking a lot of extra “rat poison” to get the reading back up.
Then I found Green Tea is loaded with vitamin K, which helps coagulation in normal people, but causes clots in my blood system. I had been drinking lots of green tea, but no more.
I tried it for a long while.
Was okay.
More recently, I have seen ‘green coffee’ as the lastest miracle substance. [I have not tried it.]
Raspberries.
Lycopene from tomatoes.
Blueberries.
Broccoli.
Green tea is good for some things, but consuming it for medicinal reasons only works if you need it for particular medicinal reasons.
If you are a great fan of green tea, you should consider white tea.
“Like black and green tea, white tea is also derived from Camellia sinensis. Thus, white tea shares many of the same chemical properties and health effects of tea. However, white tea contains the most antioxidants. The particular amount and ratio of the polyphenol compounds found in tea varies widely from one type of white tea to another, frequently overlapping with chemical compositions found in green tea. This is due both to the variation between strain of Camellia sinensis, as well as the preparation process itself.”
But other medicinal herbs should not be neglected, such as ginseng, oregano, sage, garlic and even marijuana.
What is higher quality brand of green tea? How does one know?
I’d read that black tea has as many or even more antioxidants than green tea, but putting milk in it negates those effects. Most folks drink tea with milk in it.
