Did you know that the Chinese have known about the medicinal benefits of green tea since ancient times? In fact, green tea has been used as a medicine in China for at least 4,000 years! Okay, enough with the history, lets discuss the real stuff. In one pack of Liptons 100% natural Green Tea there are 0 calories, 0 grams of fat, 0 grams of carbs, and, well, you get the idea. There are 0 grams of anything! Green tea helps with cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, high cholesterol levels, cardiovascular disease, infection, and impaired immune function. The secret is that it is rich in a powerful antioxidant called EGCG which can kill cancer cells without harming healthy tissue. What else can this miracle drink do? New evidence is emerging that green tea can even help dieters. In November, 1999, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published the results of a study at the University of Geneva in Switzerland. Researchers found that men who were given a combination of caffeine and green tea extract burned more calories than those given only caffeine or a placebo. Green tea even helps prevent tooth decay! There are so many different tests with so many different results in how much green tea you should drink in a day. A good shot is four to five cups, if not, more!
