Green tea is one of my favorite drinks at Yoshinoya, (A Japanese fast food chain known for its tasty foods at an affordable price). I like the taste of it since it’s not too sweet. If this is the first time you will taste it, it may taste grassy, but when you get used to it, its taste is refreshing. (I’m talking about a cold green tea with a touch of lemon). This is one kind of preparation of the tea, though it may be served hot or cold. Oh I love it with ice especially on hot season.
Green tea is good for our health if we take it moderately. It has polyphenols (a plant substance) that prevents cancer and cardiovascular or heart disease. A study conducted in toxicity of polyphenols, has shown that excessive consumption of green tea, can cause kidney and liver disease. As a green tea drinker we should not be worried that we might have a kidney and liver disease, since it only occurs to those people who take the green tea supplement.
Chung Yang of Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, cited on his experiments on rodents and cats, these two animals died when given a large dose of polyphenols. He also reported in some cases in humans when liver toxicity symptoms had been observed when taking green tea based supplement. The symptom disappeared after stopping the pill. The symptoms returned when they resume taking it. (Chemical Research in Toxicology, vol. 20, p 583)
Green tea is beneficial to our body’s health at a certain degree of consumption, like 10 cups a day is still okay but over dose of the pill based green tea supplement can have harmful effect to our health.
