Whoever provided that info must have misinterpreted the source. Green Tea is speculated to PREVENT clogged arteries, not CAUSE the clog. Along with many other health benefits! And for Zubey, that is not true with all herbal teas. Take Rooibos Tea for example (most famously known as red tea). It is 100% herbal and contains more antioxidants than Green Tea. I absolutely love it! It is my most favored tea.

High levels of blood fats can often be hereditary. If you recently had a strep infection, there is a small possibility that it may have done some damage to the valves of your heart. Many people have harmless "skipped beats" (known as PVC's), though. Red wine (in moderation) is generally considered healthy, as it is known to help reduce blood lipids. If the skipped beats are frequent, I think you should go to your doc for an evaluation. You may need to have an EKG and/or an echocardiogram (both painless) in order to determine the cause. I had frequent PVC's, had an echocardiogram and found that I have a floppy heart valve, which is not generally serious, but I did begin therapy on a beta-blocker which completely stopped the extra beats. Go to a doctor to ease your mind, and good luck.

Green tea is good for us: That mantra has been chanted in the West since the early 1990s, when studies reported that the infusion, sipped for centuries in China and Japan, appeared to help fight off cancers when drunk by lab mice or rubbed on their skin. Enthusiasm intensified after other studies revealed that green tea contained certain chemicals with cancer-fighting clout. Scientists rolled up their sleeves to figure out how it works.
So confident was one doctor-turned-green-tea businessman that in 2004 he decided to petition the Food and Drug Administration to permit green teas to sport cancer-fighting health claims on their packages.

no, and for John, Green tea is not considered Herbal,. Green tea is Tea, Herbal has no tea in it so no antioxies. also decaffinated tea has no antioxies either

It most definitely is not true. Herbal tea is much healthier than coffee. Enjoy.
