Hi Debbie. This is a direct quote from the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, April 2006: "Recent human studies suggest that green tea may contribute to a reduction in the risk of cardiovascular disease and some forms of cancer, as well as to the promotion of oral health and other physiological functions such as anti-hypertensive effect, body weight control, and antibacterial and antivirasic (anti-viral) activity, solar ultraviolet protection, bone mineral density increase, anti-fibrotic properties, and neuroprotective power".
Best wishes.
