Green tea is made from unfermented leaves and reportedly contains the highest concentration of powerful antioxidants called polyphenols. Green tea has the highest level on anti oxidants of all teas and has been proven to help many health conditions such as

•  Atherosclerosis
•  High Cholesterol
•  Cancer
•  Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
•  Diabetes
•  Liver Disease
•  Weight Loss

WHAT IT IS Leaves that have been steamed or cooked prior to oxidation.
WHAT IT DOES Asians have lower rates of many cancers and a high consumption rate of green tea. Coincidence? Nope – chemicals in green tea can destroy cancer cells, and women who drink 10-plus cups a day (toilet, anyone?) have a 43 per cent reduction in cancer risk. People who drink five cups a day burn up to 335kJ more a day than tea-totallers. It can protect against eye disease, stimulate bone formation and may promote healthy teeth.
TRY Dilmah Green Tea ($4.19 for 50). Milder than some greens. Do try it.
