The secret of green tea lies in the fact it is rich in catechin polyphenols,
particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG is a powerful anti-oxidant:
besides inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, it kills cancer cells without
harming healthy tissue. It has also been effective in lowering LDL cholesterol
levels, and inhibiting the abnormal formation of blood clots. The latter takes
on added importance when you consider that thrombosis (the formation of abnormal
blood clots) is the leading cause of heart attacks and stroke.
