It doesn't seem to be as well studied (scientifically) as green tea so there isn't as much reliable info on it that I have found. Some of the producers claim it has more antioxidants than green tea. <br /><br />Yerba is something that I make and keep in the refrigerator to have iced (since green tea should be consumed within 2 hours to get the maxium benefit we don't drink that iced).<br /><br />I will do a little research later today and see if I can find something that appears well researched. If I do I will let you know.<br /><br />Sorry I couldn't be more help,<br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-81450311445109432202010-01-19T10:43:58.416-05:002010-01-19T10:43:58.416-05:00Alicia,

From what I have read the EGCG is short lived in the body (reaching its maximum absorption in 3 to 5 hours). That is why we drink it all day long.<br /><br />Janet,<br /><br />I am so happy to hear that your son is now drinking green tea too!

As you know, I now love green chai tea ( no milk in it) and my son loves green tea with pomegranite, thanks to your suggestion!<br />I entered my recipe from today's blog post over at the flicker group for the Healthy Cooking Challenge.

It is great when something that you like is also good for you.<br /><br />Do you have a favorite way to consume your green tea?

I think I remember reading that it increases the T cells (part of the immune system). <br /><br />We have been making a conscious effort to drink 6 to 8 cups a day since last June and neither my husband nor I have had a cold since last spring. If I make it out of this winter without a cold it will be the first winter that has happened in a long time. <br /><br />Thanks for letting me know it works for you too so I know it isn't just in my head.<br /><br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-65717800491097572352010-01-18T14:04:27.341-05:002010-01-18T14:04:27.341-05:00I drink both green and black tea, but when I feel ...I drink both green and black tea, but when I feel as if I might come down with something (a cold or other virus) I start drinking more green tea than usual. I'll drink 6 to 8 cups per day. I can't prove it scientifically, but I feel it really revitalizes my immune system. I either don't get sick afterall (despite having noticed some early symptoms) or my cold lasts only a few days rather than a week or two like others around me.Marciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582731584317660272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-14804389046257400512010-01-18T13:23:45.102-05:002010-01-18T13:23:45.102-05:00Anna,

The green tea contains more EGCG because it isn't fermented like black tea and oolong tea.<br /><br />Every nutrition and/or cancer book I have read recommends consuming green tea as often as possible.<br /><br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-29706892374457148612010-01-18T13:17:04.060-05:002010-01-18T13:17:04.060-05:00Thanks for sharing!
