Irene talked about Green Tea today !

On September 13, 2006 the Journal of the American Medical Association published a study that tracked the green tea consumption of 40,530 adults over an 11 year period. The study found that those who drank five or six more cups of green tea a day cut their overall death rate by 16% compared to those who drank less than one cup of green tea a day. Women who drank five or more cups of green tea daily has a 31% reduced risk of dying from cardiovascular disease, whereas men who drank five or more cups had a 22% reduced risk of dying from cardiovascular disease. Stroke was the type of cardiovascular mortality against which green tea was shown to be the most effective, Women who drank five or more cups of green teas had a 42% lower risk of stroke compared to those who drank one cup a day. The findings from another large human study did show a 41% reduction in cancer incidence in those who consumed 10 cups of green tea a day compared to those who consumed less than 3 cups. Green tea can kill cancer cells. The study also showed that subjects who received the green tea extract caps had a 60% greater increase in EGCG ( epigallocatechin gallate) and a 90% greater increase in ECG ( EPICATECHINGALLATE ) compared to those who drank the identical amounts of those green tea constituents in standardized beverage form. The scientists concluded that when administered in the form a a green tea supplement the active constituents (POLYPHENOLS) showed enhanced bio availability. Not only green tea is good for your heart it also has been proven to bring down LDL cholesterol.
