Summary

People throughout Asia have enjoyed the benefits of green tea for centuries. And recent research shows that green tea has the potential to benefit health in countless ways. Studies suggest that catechins, powerful plant-based antioxidants in green tea, have greater potential for fighting damage caused by free radicals than familiar antioxidants vitamin C and E. Green tea supports cancer prevention, detox regimens, skin care and more! Learn more about why green tea is the fourth most commonly used dietary supplement in the U.S. in this completely revised and updated booklet.
