Green Tea
The power of green tea
The secret to the power of green tea is thought to lie in the fact that
it is so high in polyphenols. The most significant of these
ingredients is thought to be epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG).
EGCG is known as a powerful antioxidant, and it has been shown to both
inhibit the growth of cancer cells and kill cancer cells without
injuring healthy body tissue. EGCG has been shown to be effective
at lowering the level of bad (LDL) cholesterol, and in helping to
prevent blood clots from forming. This may be why green tea has
shown such promise in preventing heart disease and stroke.
