Green tea is loaded with antioxidants; antioxidants are what protects our cells from the damage caused by 'free radicals.' They have done a few studies on it, and believe that green tea helps fight certain types of cancers and heart disease. They've actually been doing research on the medical benefits of green tea for about 10 or so years now. Right now they're doing studies to see if it lowers cholesterol, and helps with preventing diabetes. While all this stuff hasn't been 100% proven, there's good indication that because of the antioxidants it is a definite health benefit. I drink green tea, as well as regular pekoe teas. One of the main reasons I drink more of the green is because of all the medical reports I've read about it over the years about the potential benefits.

I've read about the benefits of green tea. It can cure cancer and other ailments of the body. It is safe to use, I've tried it already and I feel that unwanted air in the stomach are coming out. I will continue to use this and see the result in a few months. You can take it daily more 3-4 times.
