Green Tea is amazing

By Elinca Hende

Recently I came across a story written by a medical professor who had been gravely ill and unresponsive to any treatment. He suffered from advanced amyloidosis, a condition in which proteins are abnormally deposited in organs - leading to severe functional impairment of the affected tissue and organs.

He had given up all hope after years of chemotherapy and lack of improvement. Basically he was waiting to die, as he put it.

One of his former students received word of his poor condition and advised him to drink green tea - lots of green tea.
Green tea contains a substance called EGCG - Epigallocatechin gallate, a most powerful antioxidant.
Research suggests that green tea may have a number of health-promoting benefits, for example regarding cardio-vascular health, weight management, cancer prevention.

The professor thought, he might as well try as he had nothing to lose, and he improved a few weeks after he started to drink green tea. As he was monitored throughout the process the improvement was well documented.

This was such an inspiring story and got me really interested in green tea. And by now, I am a passionate green-tea drinker.
