by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
In a recent article for Best Syndication, green tea guru Lorraine Bevere reports the "good news" about green tea: It can help reduce cholesterol, risk of cancer and high blood pressure, as well as help with arthritis, cardiovascular disease, infection and impaired immune function.
For the millions and millions of people suffering from high cholesterol green tea may be that light.
This new century is expected to become the century of medical miracles, the green tea, lowly as it may sound looks very promising as several researches have shown.
More good news is it's not just green tea and cholesterol; it's also green tea and cancer.
The Journal of the National Cancer Institute published the results of an epidemiological study indicating that drinking green tea reduced the risk of esophageal cancer in Chinese men and women by nearly sixty percent.
In another study by the University of Kansas determined that EGCG may explain why the rate of heart disease among Japanese men is quite low, even though approximately seventy-five percent are smokers.
It's not just green tea and cholesterol; it's also green tea and high blood pressure.
For more that 4,000 years the Chinese have known about the medicinal benefits of green tea since using it to treat everything from headaches to depression.
Green tea is rich in catechin polyphenols, especially epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG).
It's not just green tea and cholesterol; it's also green tea and weight loss.
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published a report that found out that men who were given a combination of caffeine and green tea extract burned more calories than those given only caffeine.
Its bacteria-destroying abilities kill the bacteria that cause dental decay.
So it's not just green tea and cholesterol, it's also green tea and bacteria.
Green tea leaves are steamed, which prevents the EGCG compound from being oxidized while black and oolong tea leaves are made from dried or fermented leaves, which causes loss of EGCG.
