Known as China's Fountain of Youth, green tea has been recognized as a powerful healer in preventing cancer and slowing the aging process. Since its first recorded use 4,000 years ago, people have been drinking green tea for its health-preserving and revitalizing power. Lester Mitscher and Victoria Dolby explore the beverage's health claims in The Green Tea Book. Using scientific research, The Green Tea Book examines each benefit, from the prevention of cancer and heart disease to simulating mental clarity and reducing cholesterol levels. Polyphenols, naturally occurring compounds found in green tea, supplement the body's antioxidant levels and are the primary mechanism by which green tea prevents the formation of cancer. In addition to the health benefits, Mitscher and Dolby present the history of green tea as well as guidelines for choosing, brewing, and storage. The Green Tea Book is the complete guide to green tea and will help you understand why it works and how you can use it for both its health-promoting qualities and its great taste. --Gretel Hakanson |

A Scientific Approach 
While I often enjoy drinking green tea because of its taste, this book presents some its healthful benefits that are said to be scientifically based. At least I think they're scientifically based. Apparently subsequent information has been published that contradicts Dr. Mitscher's findings. The impact of the existence of polyphenols and antioxidents has not clearly been substantiated. I am not a scientist, so I am still confused on the issue, and this book only adds to my confusion. However, it does provide hope. Thus, I will continue to drink green tea because I like it. If it proves to be as healthful as this book claims, I have only gained.

In depth research regarding the health benefits of green tea 
I found such wonderful and informative information in this book. From general health benefits of drinking green tea to chapters dedicated to specific health problems such as different cancers, dental health, cardio, etc. Everything is backed-up with study and research results so you know actual numbers. And if it's not a fact, they let you know. I drink a lot more green tea now!
