I guess they are good for you since they make your body rid itself of your bad meals.

Perhaps hot water is the element which improves health. These "studies" are so 20th Century and so insignificant.

Perhaps it's only the water - or the air.

.. British heart experts said the benefits may be linked to the whole Japanese diet, which is healthier than that eaten in the west.

Actually, you've been able to buy green tea pills for years...and they're usually cheaper than that...

I'm drinking a cup of Earl Grey tea now. Why buy the pills when one can have the real thing?

Drinking Earl Grey won't make you live longer, but it will sure seem that way. :D

Most east asian cuisine is far more healthy than American food. There's a Thai restaraunt in my town that is amazing.

I've been drinkking green tea for 5 years (4 cups a day0 and the stuff is awesome. It increases your base metabolic rate so you burn more calories even while reading FR. Chock full of anti-oxidants to fight the evil free radicals. Also an appetite supressant so you eat less. I have a stack of green tea bags on my desk at work and sip the stuff all day long.

Have not taken a pharamaceutical drug in 20 years and counting. Greeen tea is awesome and I would highly recommend it to anybody.

With a screen name of "suchiman" you must also know that there is also green tea ice cream. My wife loves it!

There can be no doubt.

120 million Japanese can't be wrong.

Although it is bitter as hell in Japan; one has to find ways to sweeten it without getting extra calories.
