A local supermarket chain here sells a very good off-brand of green tea, 100 bags for a buck. Often they are sold out. I think local Chinese restaurant owners clean them out each time they get a delivery.
I quit a 26 year tobacco habit this year and drink Green Tea everyday. Supposedly, it’s good for healing up tobacco damage and I’ve actually gotten to like it. Might explain why my cholesterol is in the 160’s at my last physical.
Why don’t the restaurant owners contact the supplier and get them wholesale?.....................
I tried that.
The green tea doesn’t burn as well as tobacco. And it stinks up the house..................
Drops 20 points off my blood sugar when I drink a cup
There was no change reported in the levels of HDL, or good cholesterol. "
Niacin 2600 mg per day, reduced my TC, LDL and triglycerides, while raising my HDL. (All good results). After about two months, I reduced amount to 1600 mg/day. This is Nicotinic acid, the kind that causes flushing. To avoid that, take an uncoated aspirin or break it up. The inositol hexaniacinate did not work for me. Stay away from the timed release stuff. I got off the prescription Niaspan as well.
Wouldn’t plain water do that, too?................
The ‘shelf life’ of green tea is shorter because it’s not highly processed.
I like the japanese Ito En green tea Costco sells, 100 bags for $12. I throw a bag into a bottle of water, tighten the cap over the string, then let it brew upside down in the fridge for a couple hours. Sweeten to taste, maybe add a little lemon, and for twenty cents you have half a litre of something very good indeed....
