Green tea
has
undergone minimal oxidation during processing. Green tea is popular in China
and Japan, and recently has become more popular in the West, which
traditionally drank black tea.
The secret of green tea
lies in the fact it is rich in catechin polyphenols,
particularly epigallocatechin
gallate (EGCG). EGCG is a powerful antioxidant:besides
inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, it kills
cancer cells without harming
healthy tissue. It has also been effective in lowering LDL
cholesterol levels, and inhibiting the abnormal
formation of blood clots The latter
takes on added importance when you consider that thrombosis
(the formation of abnormal blood clots) is the leading
cause of heart
attacks and stroke. |
