Is green tea really good for you or is it just hype?

Question

Also, is there a certain brand that is better or more potent? I just buy Bigelow Green Tea from the supermarket. Thanks!

Answer 1

Green tea is good as long as you don't overly fill it with sugar. It contains high amounts of antioxidants and little to no caffiene. I use Uncle Lee's brand because it's organic and tastes great but Tazo also makes a really good one. Chai tea is good too but it's very hard to find authentic cha tea in the US. Most of it is a customized blend or offset of chai tea and not the real thing.

Answer 2

There does seem to be some reliable information about green tea having certain health benefits. But yes, there's a lot of hype about this or that food; including green tea and it is hard to separate the truth from the hype sometimes.

Answer 3

If you really want to know more about green tea go to firstgov.gov and in the search box type in Green Tea. This website is so chock full of information, I forgot all about it till about a week ago.

Answer 4

I like green tea because it tastes good, has health benefits and has caffeine, so it keeps me from drinking diet coke or lots of coffee. I buy the Trader Joe's brand.

Answer 5

Yes, as the others say, green tea contains anti-oxidants, and anti-oxidants are good for you. To see what the wikis have to say about it, pop on over to here:
