Green Tea fights cancer? Alzheimers?

Pin another ribbon on drinking tea. Its been interesting to read what science is now learning about the health benefits of drinking tea. Puts a smile on the face of us life-long tea drinkers.

Now we learn researchers have confirmed the same green tea ingredient that may fight cancer (EGCG) will also help us resist the brain-disease Alzheimers.

Alzheimer's is a progressive disorder that causes memory loss and afflicts an estimated 4.5 million people in the United States and millions more globally. Many times over the years I've noticed people are more concerned about losing their minds than heart attacks, etc.

More research will be required. We thank the folks at University of Southern Florida psychiatry department for adding to the growing body of information that confirms simple things like drinking tea (and taking EGCG tea supplements) can work wonders.
