Green tea?

I've not had the time to research the benefits of green tea, but my friend has been telling me she heard it has all kinds of great benefits. AND, my son (23) has a good friend from Russia, that says green tea is like the CURE ALL? He drinks is daily.

Does anyone here know anything about green tea? I've heard it is great for weight loss as well??

Thanks!

I've never drank any of it but I've heard it's full of antioxidants and fights free radicals which would give it it's healing properties.

I've also heard it helps with weight loss, but I just couldn't go there.  I think tea is yucky!

I think it is supposed to be very good for you, but it gives me heart palpatations (I'm prone to those anyway).....even the decaf variety.

I use to drink it all the time..that and water..and i was losing weighed..i drank it unsweet of course and decaf. I have actually been thinking about getting some and taking it to work to start doing it at work..i know lots of people drink the hot green tea..its worth a try!

I drink lots of green tea. I also sometimes make green tea, let it chill, and use it instead of water in my daily shakes.

The antioxidants in green tea do give it a healing-type quality. As often as possible, we reach for nutrition rather than drugs. That's part of what sustains my weight loss success.
