The History of Tea:
Tea is consumed by more health-conscious people and in greater quantity than any beverage except water. Tea is made with tea leaves from the Camillia Sinensis plant which is an evergreen related to the camellia and indigenous to Assam India and also parts of China and Japan. The lanceolate tea leaves are dark green with cream-colored fragrant blossoms. Shop for Tea and Green Tea Online at Bigelowtea.com.

Green Tea Health Study Summary:
A review of recent green tea studies presented at the 2004 International Research Conference on Food, Nutrition and Cancer, suggests that green tea polyphenols may be effective in preventing and inhibiting the growth of prostate cancer. Green Tea Catechins, also referred to as flavonoids or polyphenols, in green tea, are reported in several recent green tea health studies to be protective to joint cartilage and have the ability to reduce inflammation. A University of South Florida study on green tea reported that Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG), the most abundant flavonoid in green tea, exhibited antimicrobial activity and had a protective effect against respiratory infection. Additional green tea health studies also suggest that green tea may have strong antimicrobial activity. University of Kansas health researchers published a comprehensive review of green tea studies reported since 1970 that examine the potential of green tea to provide a number of preventative actions in human health. The many reported possible therapeutic benefits of green tea consumption include reductions in risk for: dental carries, infection, inflammation, x-ray irradiation, some types of tumor development, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and cardiovascular disorders.
Green Tea Tidbits:
Green Tea has little-to-no calories, sugar, fat or carbohydrates, but is quite rich in potassium. Catechins and other flavonoid-like compounds in green tea are shown to be strong antioxidants and are the subjects of numerous scientific studies. While this exciting green tea health benefits information is ongoing, research is not conclusive yet and more clinical studies of green tea are needed in order to understand the full role of green tea antioxidants in human health.
