reduces the risk of stroke by 70 percent. Researchers contribute this
to the bioflavonoids that studies have linked to protection against
heart attacks, cancer and other diseases. These bioflavonoids have
antioxidant properties that reduce the ability of blood platelets to
form clots, the main cause of strokes. Even though green tea is also
high in bioflavonoids, its high vitamin K content may offset their
anticlotting properties.
In the March 31, 2005, issue of the American Chemical Society’s Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry, researchers found that both black and green teas significantly inhibited cataract formation by decreasing glucose levels in diabetics. The study was based on the human consumption of less than five cups of tea per day.
The April, 2008 issue of Mayo Clinic Health Letter points out what is known about tea’s potential benefits. Green tea in particular, could be beneficial in reducing inflammation related to arthritis and slowing cartilage breakdown. It may also improve bone mineral density in older women. Plus, those who consume tea daily show less risk of memory loss
