Drinking green tea information. I keep hearing people asking these questions: Is it good to drink green tea everyday? Is it healthy or bad to drink green tea everyday? How much green tea to drink for help benefits?
It is said that green tea has many health benefits, as it contains a plant nutrient known as epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). It says that it can help to burn fat (especially belly fat) faster, stabilizes your energy, lower the risks of various form of cancer, prevent skin damage and formation of wrinkles, and kills free radicals.

And of course we have read countless articles about drinking green tea can help to lower the risk of heart disease. It says to reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or aka "bad" cholesterol, while maintaining the the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) or the good cholesterol level.
Anyway, recently I read that according to a study, it says drinking green tea only reduces slightly less than 2 per cent of low-density lipoprotein (LDL). The researchers said it is catechins (a type of antioxidant) in the green tea which which decrease the absorption of cholesterol in the gut.
So we are advised not to resort to merely drinking green tea as a cholesterol-lowering medicines for people with high cholesterol.
In addition, some researchers are concerned about the possible side effects from drinking too much green tea or green tea extracts. There have been reported case of liver damage, and green tea may also reduce the effectiveness of some medications.
