Green tea is the dried leaves of the same tea plant that gives us the popular black tea. The difference is that black tea is fermented to produce the characteristic flavour and this process destroys most of its medicinal benefits. Green tea is a medicinal food because the active ingredients are present in a cup of tea in sufficient quantities to have some medicinal effects. However, by adding milk to green tea the antioxidant status of the tea can be significantly lowered. There are many types of green tea beverages, bagged or loose leaves, organic and non-organic, caffeinated and decaffeinated products. Green tea may also be combined with other herbs or flavours (i.e. lemon, peach, jasmine). Green tea supplements are found as encapsulated herb or tablets. Green tea supplements should be standardized as an assurance of the amount of polyphenols they contain. It can be found in combination products for cholesterol control, heart health and anti-aging.

Green tea’s antioxidant properties neutralize free radicals and therefore reduce damage to tissue. Green tea’s epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) has been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells and prevent the spread of tumours to other areas of the body. It may also increase the effectiveness of some anti-cancer medication while protecting the body’s normal cells from cancer therapies like radiation and chemotherapy. Natural health practitioners for low immune functioning, age-related diseases, cardiovascular disease and cancer may recommend green tea.
