I don't drink tea..ANY tea (only if some maiden aunt pushes it on me)...and I don't drink coffee either.

You think I should start?

I am totally addicted to coffee...I need the caffeine so I don't fall asleep listening to the Dims blathering.

A characteristic of many enteropathies is increased epithelial permeability, a potentially pathophysiological event that can be evoked by T helper (Th)-1 (i.e., IFN-) and Th2 (i.e., IL-4) cytokines and bacterial infection [e.g., enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC)].

Of course!

Oh, I will drink a cup of java, now and then...

..but I would say, I've not had a single cup of coffee in 2005.

I prefer diet pepsi myself.

You can take egcg in pill form or in a dropper mixed with water.

Wow... This is a tough one to follow. I have heard that green tea is good for many things, but I would love to see this in laymans language.

So, are these "green tea" tea bags I got a Walgreen any good, or am I just kidding myself?

It would be best to buy the "green tea extract" or EGCG in a health food store.

I LOVE traditional Japanese ocha (green tea) piping hot. I also love traditional Japanese cold tea (mugicha) in the summer. The stuff in replys 17 and 18 is good too! I will stop by the store this afyernoon and get a few bottles. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!

A must read on this topic (IMO):

http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/abstract/80/6/1558

"Bioavailability and antioxidant activity of tea flavanols after consumption of green tea, black tea, or a green tea extract supplement"

This study was done using the Pharmanex Tegreen 97 product. I use this (and believe in it). The distributor's price is $13.30 US + s/h for a 30 day supply and it is 97% polyphenols (250 mg, 20:1 extract).

Private Message me if you're interested.
