Benefits of Drinking Green Tea

3/3/2020

​The secret of green tea lies in the fact it is rich in catechin polyphenols, particularly EGCG, epigallocatechin.  EGCG is a powerful anti-oxidant and besides inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, it also 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. 
​
Green, oolong, and black teas all come from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. The reason green tea is healthier is due to the way it is processed. Green tea leaves are steamed, which prevents the EGCG compound from being oxidized. Whereas, black and oolong tea leaves are made from fermented leaves, which results in the EGCG being converted into other compounds that are not as effective in health benefits.
