    How Much Do You Need?

    So now that you know the a lot health advantages of green tea, how much should you drink?

    There are as a lot answers to this question as there are researchers investigating the natural qualities of green tea. Sometimes, the answers can be conflicting. For instance, in Herbs for Health, a magazine specializing on the health advantages of herbs, it was cited that according to a Japanese report, men who drank ten cups of green tea per day stayed cancer-free for three years longer than men who drank less than three cups a day.

    NOTE: There are approximately 240-320 mg of polyphenols in three cups of green tea.

    And yet, in a study by Cleveland’s Western Reserve University, scientists concluded that drinking four or more cups of green tea per day could aid prevent rheumatoid arthritis, or alleviate symptoms in individuals already suffering from the disease.

    Still another study, by Japanese scientists at the Saitama Cancer Research Institute, showed there were fewer recurrences of breast cancer, and the disease spread less quickly, in women with a history of drinking five cups or more of green tea daily.

    And then, just when you think you got it down right, it gets even more confusing. A University of California study on the cancer-preventative properties of green tea concluded that you can probably achieve the desired level of polyphenols by drinking merely two cups per day.

    So how can you make sense of all these conflicting claims? The harmless answer should be around four to five cups daily. If you want more, then by all means, drink more. However, whether or not you’ll derive added health advantages remains to be determined by further research.
