There is no other drink which is reported to have so many other major health benefits as green tea. Here are just a few of the reported medical conditions for which green tea is meant to be of benefit:
- cancer
- rheumatoid arthritis

The Chinese have known about the benefits of drinking green tea for at least 4,000 years and have been consuming it for this length of time.
Today, scientific research in both Asia and the west is providing hard evidence for the health benefits long associated with drinking green tea. In recent medical Journals studies have been published which show that study drinking green tea reduces the risk of esophageal cancer in Chinese men and women by nearly sixty percent.
Other studies have concluded that certain compounds in green tea prevent the growth of cancer cells. There is also evidence to suggest that drinking green tea lowers total cholesterol levels.
