Since 1992 reports have only substantiated this powerful statement. Green Teas Fight Cancer & Heart Disease: Tea contains antioxidant compounds of polyphenols that help the body fight harmful free radicals. It is believed that harmful free radicals lead to cancer and heart disease. Tea also contains flavonoids that restrict the build up of cholesterol and help with blood vessel functionality. Protects Teeth & Strengthens Bones: Polyphenols found in tea may reduce plaque, which lowers your chance of cavity and gum disease. Tea also contains fluoride that helps protect against tooth decay. Fluoride is extracted from the soil by the tea plant. This identified mineral also strengthens bones and prevents osteoporosis. Organic fluoride in tea is not harmful as is the case with synthetic fluoride injected into water supplies in various parts of the U.S. Tea Improves Digestion: The polyphenols in tea help with digestion of fatty food by increasing the flow of digestive juices. Prevent Food Poisoning: The catechins in tea are a powerful sterilizing agent, which kills germs and bacteria. Tea prevents food poisoning by fighting against stomach diseases caused by harmful bacterias. Look and Feel Younger: Studies suggested that the high concentrations of antioxidants in tea have an anti-aging effect. Strengthen the Immune System: Vitamin C in green tea helps to treat the flu and the common cold.
