Ok, so this month (January) for the US is the National Hot Tea Month,
becoz they did a study show that tea helped weight loss.
Hm…
Some people even suggested that, after having a meal, drink a cup of tea may increase your metabolic rate, which I guess it is true.
But don’t forget in previous entry, it actually didn’t do you good, becoz tea could reduce the absorption of iron & protein from the food that you just have. Totally not good for digestion.
Also, the FDA still hasn’t release or have any report on the number of dose of green tea we could have.
Therefore, there is still a potential risk if drinking too much green tea
Good things about green tea:
- preventing/treating cancer
- stop certain neurodegenerative disease; Alzhemier
- Prevent degradation of cell membrances, i.e free radical
- treat multiple sclerosis, arthristis
- Fight viral infectionSnowstorm
So I guess, even though there are studies prove certain things and other studies against those studies…we should never over eating/drinking certain amount of stuff, i.e. orange juice is good for you, but if you drink too much, it is going to be harmful to your body.so…
