Today we can find products in the market made from green tea like lotions, deodorants, vitamins, candy, ointment and more. There are many researches that talked about the many benenfits of the green tea. However, there are other researches that said that there is not sufficient scientific evidence to said that grean tea cure and improve all of this  healht problems.
These are some of the benefits that I found according to different researches.

  1. Green Tea is no doubt a super-herb! I once was hooked on sugary caramel machiatto's from Starbux but since learning on the Dr. Oz show & reading magazines about how incredbile this little herb is, I've since switched! People think tea is boring but I've found a way around this...I usually order mine w/ 1/4 non-fat, steamed milk & add a little honey...sooo yummy :)~
