Catechins in Green Tea

is a beverage that people use throughout the Orient. People in Asians average about five

cups a day, and the drink—hot or cold—makes them feel good.. Green tea

contains epigallocatechin gallate, which nutritional chemists commonly call

“polyphenolic catechins.” These catechins are free-radical quenchers that

inhibit the growth of cancer  and lower people’s blood cholesterol.

What’s more, green tea catechins have shown powerful anticarcinogenic

effects against liver and throat malignancies. If people drink it on a

regular basis in substantial amounts, as folks do in countries of the Pacific Rim,

green tea might offer substantial anticancer protection.
