Medicinal properties of green tea - is a myth

Based on 14 clinical studies have found that a group of people who regularly take green tea during the time period from three weeks to three months, reduced the "bad" cholesterol - one of the major risk factors for heart disease - only two percent. Thus, the significant difference between the control group and people, which conducted the study, there are no notes. So green tea has no curative and preventive properties.

Preferred therapeutic effect was associated with tea catechins, which reduce intestinal absorption of cholesterol. But these catechins provide much less positive effect on the body than thought until now. Therefore, the researchers warn that green tea should not be used instead of drugs. Moreover, it can reduce the effectiveness of certain drugs used at the same time.

We add that the green tea in moderation can be a necessary part of a healthy diet, reports. To do this, it is better to drink warm, not hot for half an hour before meals or later, the same half an hour after a meal.
