The benefits of Green
tea shown by more than 100 recent medical studies are so important, and so powerful that
it would be easy to dismiss them as marketing hype were green tea a pharmaceutical drug.
Thousands of years of use of this simple and enjoyable drink in Asia confirm its
astonishing benefits.
Americans are Coffee
drinkers. The English are the tea drinkers!
Ever since the Boston Tea party, English
"high tea" at five PM has not featured strongly in American's customs. Yet think
about the buckets of iced tea we imbibe at lunch (providing we don't belong to the Double
Martini set!) Not only do restaurants serve up pre-made iced "black" tea,
it is often laced with bacteria, as the staff are too lazy to clean out the containers
regularly. Bacteria would not survive in a green tea, freshly brewed, but try to order a
glass in a restaurant, and observe the blank stare. Green Tea? What's that?
Why should he and we care? Because we are missing one of natures most powerful
anti-oxidants which not only tastes good, but is a natural to enjoy as a thirst quencher
through out the day. According to Dr. Earl Mindell, although it comes from the identical
plant, it differs from black tea in a number of fundamental ways - green
tea has 30% to 42 % of catechins: black tea has 3 to 10%.
Black tea is partially crushed and fermented before it is dried - the fermentation
destroys most of the catechin. My own theory is that my English ancestors were introduced
only to black tea, as took months to ship it to Europe from China in sailing ships with no
refrigeration. It was packed "green" but it fermented naturally on the way,
aided and abetted by the movement of the ship and the humidity at sea. This was how the
English thought tea should be, and to degrade it more they added milk, which appears to
immobilize the polyphenol's effects! But this was not how tea had been
used in Asia for thousands of years. The Chinese and Japanese only knew the fresh green
dried variety and their herbalists certainly knew, and still know, of its benefits.
Catechins are the polyphenols, bioflavinoids that act as super antioxidants. They have
been found to have significantly higher antioxidant powers than grape juice and wines. And
they also have an almost unlimited range of health benefits, which have been subject to
over one hundred scientific studies during the last five years, most of them in Asia and
Europe, but a number of key ones in the US. These studies have not only quantified
the benefits, but have started to establish which of the many polyphenols in the tea
provide the body with that particular benefit. The most important catechin is
Epigallocatechin gallate.
In general, the benefits of using green tea can be placed in two categories:
antiaging/cancer
fighting and cardiovascular. Because the subject is so vast, the benefits
established in these studies will be itemized under these two headings. Two detailed
articles on this subject can be found in the Life Extension Foundation
June 1999 edition.
Nearly 100 references to these studies are given at the end of these two articles.
Antiaging, Cancer fighting properties
Studies have shown that, taken in sufficient quantities, green tea can:
 |
Block angiostatis, the new blood vessels tumors need to grow. |
 |
Inhibit metastasis, the process by which cancer spreads in the body |
 |
Interferes with the production of
telomerase, the enzyme which immortalizes cancer cells |
 |
Reduce the production of DHT, a potent form of testosterone implicated in causing
prostate cancer |
 |
Lower in incidence of lymph node metastasis in post menopausal women |
 |
Inhibit the onset of breast and colon cancer,
as well as melanoma. |
 |
Enhances the effectiveness of chemotherapy in ovarian cancer. |
 |
Help protect DNA from radiation induced damage |
 |
Can produce apoptosis (programmed cell death) in lung cancer patients, as well as
protecting smokers from the onset of lung cancer. |
 |
Prevent inflammation and possible subsequent skin cancer when applied to the skin. |
 |
Can lower serum glucose and consequent insulin, reducing the possibility of tumors and
immuneosuppresive hormones. |
Cardio-protective Qualities
The use of adequate amounts of green tea can:
- Reduce the triglyceride and blood glucose levels by
reducing the action of he starch digesting amylase enzyme
resulting in lower insulin secretion and calorie
restriction.
- Increases the healthy function of the liver and pancreas
- Lower LDL cholesterol levels
- Lowers intestinal fat absorption
- May act as natural calcium-channel blockers
- Lower blood pressure because of its powerful vasodilatation properties
- Lower fibrinogen and inhibit excessive clotting and platelet aggregation.
- Protect the brain from oxidative stress
- Raise the seratonin and dopamine levels in the brain
- Diminish the incidence of iron induced epileptic seizures
- Improve kidney function
- Protect the body from the ravages of oxidized linoleic acid produced by heating
margarine, corn and safflower oils.
- Inhibit HIV virus replication
- Promote dental health by inhibiting the growth of unwanted oral bacteria.
- Destroy harmful intestinal bacteria and lowers the pH
