Not only that, but studies have shown that green tea exerts significant protective effects against cancer. Especially so of those that effect the digestive tract. Women may be especially interested to note that in a scientific test results it was show women who consume green tea saw their risk of colon cancer drop by 33%, pancreatic cancer by 47%, and for rectal cancer by 43%. Men also saw their risks fall. tea appears to counteract the genetic damage that triggers cancer, and to induce abnormal cells to undergo cell death. It also helps to prevent cancer cells from producing the chemicals they need to grow their own blood vessels. (J Nutr 2002; 132(8):2307-11). Letting it cool will make no difference. I personally have been drinking green tea for years -------------- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it is gone past me I will turn to see fear's path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain

jsom85 Posts: 316 Joined: 2004/01/16	2004/03/01, 01:55 PM is there a best time to drink green tea (ie morning after you wake up)? And it can be drank in cold water as well, too? cause the package give directions for hot water. but i figure, hot and cold water are the same just differing temperatures. thanks -------------- Get your weight up, kid

I will do a cup of green tea before cardio, helps get me a enerry boost with the obvious fat burning effects also. I do no other caffine of any kind, so green tea has this benefit for me also. Don't pass up reading this link, it is some great stuff. http://www.drumlib.com/dp/000018.htm:big_smile::big_smile: -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
