Green Tea Effects
By William Weaver

The Chinese have been using green tea for four thousand years for a lot of different effects such as headaches, stress, weight loss and depression.
The Chinese have discovered many green tea effects that we are going to talk to you about today.

There has been studies that have found that green tea has the properties to lower the incidence of esophageal cancer in Chinese men and women up to 60%, the article about this was published in the 1994 edition of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. This is only one of the health benefits of drinking green tea.

Another study done by the University of Purdue has found that there is a compound present in green tea that stops cancer cells from growing. Also found was that green tea lowered the bad cholesterol (LDL) and improved the ratio between LDL and the good cholesterol (HDL).

There is a long medical term for a substance in green tea but we will just call it EGCG for short. The health effect of this substance is that it also helps to lower LDL and also to stop blood from forming abnormal clots that could cause heart attacks and strokes.

There are a lot of other health effects of drinking green tea such as helping the body lose weight by burning more calories. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition did a study in 1999 that showed men who drink caffeine such as in coffee and green tea burned more calories than men who only took the caffeine or a placebo.

Another green tea effect is that it reduces the amount of plaque on teeth by killing the bacteria that forms plaque. Green tea also helps to prevent food poisoning by the same process, it kills the bacteria that causes food poisoning.

You can almost say that the good health effects of drinking green tea is a miracle and another plus is that it tastes good. Why not switch from those carbonated beverages that do you no good and start drinking green tea every day. You might be pleasantly surprised by how much better you feel by the way the green tea effects, affect you.
