Is lipton's (cold) citrus green tea as beneficial (health-wise) as traditional green tea?

Question

Or is it just another bastardized version of a good thing?

Answer 1

I'm glad you asked because every time I see it at a store I laugh to myself and think "Thats gotta be the most watered down green tea". I can't say that for sure but how good can it be?

I get mine at asian groceries. They have the tea bags, loose tea and even bottled green tea. It's all great tasting stuff and it packs a bigger caffeine punch than even strong coffee. I am wired for 2 hours.

The nutritionists say that the polyphenols that act as anti oxidants are great for you, but when I see that Lipton label right or wrong the first thing that I think of is "Processed". because they are such a big beverage compasny and bottom line profit is their job. The stuff tastes okay but I wouldn't expect those nutrients in any great quantity.

Answer 2

I think traditional green tea is beneficial. The other is just another version that seems like the good thing, but isn't.

Answer 3

If the tea actually contains elements of the citrus fruits, it will also contain nutrients found in citrus. I personally drink Salada's blueberry green tea because of the anti oxidents the berry adds to the drink. Its also very refreshing.

Answer 4

As long as it contains green tea, it has the benefits of green tea.

Answer 5

i believe so beacause they add barely any sugar. Plus iether way it s very benificial because even if it has more sugar green tea is still very good for you.

Answer 6

Not a good thing... way too much high fructose corn syrup(sugars)! Go for the good stuff.

Answer 7

Afraid it is the second opinion of yours. But it does taste nice.

Answer 8

yes
