Green Tea factoids from Prevention magazine Sept 2014

I was reading in Prevention: Sept 2014, page 26 an article on Green Tea

They name different health benefits but not the research so not as solid as I wish it was but probably can't hurt either.

Nothing like a good cup of tea.  Especially Green Tea

Here are the benefits the article listed:

*Anti-inflamatory antioxidants

*Best Brewed yourself:
             I believe because you would control the amount of sugar and also know that there are no extra
             unwanted ingredients


*May help burn fat
             *Article suggests studies are far from conclusive:  Maybe green tea plus exercise leads to 36%
                less belly fat.

Protects the brain
             *EGCG, a polyphenol in green tea may guard against neurological diseases

*It staves off strokes: 3 cups of day would reduce risks of stroke by up to 20%


Those are the factoids of this article are interesting

I know, at least I think I know, that diabetes can lead to complications and that strokes might be one of them.
