here are just a few medical conditions in which drinking green tea is reputed to be helpful:

• cancer
  
  
• rheumatoid arthritis
  
  
• high cholesterol levels
  
  
• cariovascular disease
  
  
• infection
  
  
• impaired immune function

What makes green tea so special?

The secret of green tea lies in the fact it is rich in catechin polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG is a powerful anti-oxidant: besides inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, it kills cancer cells without harming healthy tissue. It has also been effective in lowering LDL cholesterol levels, and inhibiting the abnormal formation of blood clots.  The latter takes on added importance when you consider that thrombosis (the formation of abnormal blood clots) is the leading cause of heart attacks and stroke.
