I have varicose veins.Will grapeseed supplements help?what about horsechestnut supplements?

I was wondering If taking Acai x3 would work well with tea?

my doctor said to drink 4 cups of green tea a day.has anyone caught on to the blueberry tea?every one i know is drinking it.very tasty and very good for you.do not add milk to tea---it takes away a lot of what is good for you.

I SEE SOMETIMES YOU HAVE A "SEND TO A FRIEND" LINK...BUT I WANTED TO SEND THE GREEN TEA ARTICLE TO A FRIEND AND COULDN'T FIND A LINK...???

I've read a number of articles that say you should not add lemon-or milk- to tea.

I have been drinking green tea (Prince of Peace Premium Green Tea, made in China) off late.I drink three large cups of green tea every a day. Some times I add few honey drops along with a squeeze of lime. I find it very refreshing, apart from a conspicuous enhancement in my agility and vigor. Earlier I used to suffer from nasal allergy like running nose, which has subsided now. I feel more active with this and my HDL cholesterol levels have registered improvement with marked decline in my LDL cholesterol.

Green tea cured my acid reflux problems!!!

Seems like green tea is good for so many things. I am certainly going to drink more. Tks for the health benefits!

Hi, Does green tea make sensitivity (Alergy). I have Alergey to Pincaline Sophate and Ampicilin contained medcins?

I drink decaf green tea every morning with a little lemon juice added to it. My question is: is drinking decaf green just as good as regular green tea? Look forward to finding out the answer to this. Thanks.

south african rooibos or red
bush tea. claims by them that
it has nearly 10x the antioxidents that green tea offers. does the enzyme super-
oxide dismutase appear to be
the "prime scavenger of free radicals" as they claim?

i did Not know about the antispecic benifits of green tea i just drink it cause like i just like it so much!

does lipton green tea to go count as green tea for health purposes?

As far as a commercial green tea, I've researched and found that Salada green tea is some of the best. The process they use to decaf their tea is the Co2 process which is the healthiest. I switch back and forth between the one with purple antioxidants, which tastes like kool-aid and plain green tea. I make iced tea with it and it tastes great. I don't see why there would be any difference in benefit whether it is drank hot or cold. I don't see why decaf would be less effective either.

Is decaffeinated green (and black) tea just as beneficial?

Does it make any difference if you drink cold (iced) green tea? I don't like hot green tea but buy the cold bottled kind in different flavors. I like the diet citrus flavor the best. Am I getting the same benefits?

Like others, wondering if White tea is higher in antioxidants that green tea. At a shop called T2 they say it is. please inform me.

Is white tea good for anything?
It seems to be becoming popular now.

This is some information for the person who stated that they gained 25lbs drinking at least 2 extra large Tim Horton's green tea a day. If you read the packaging information you will see that it is not pure green tea; several ingredients are listed one of which is Lemon Balm. Lemon balm suppresses the thyroid gland; which is involved in regulating the metabolism. Could be a factor in why you gained some weight.

I wouldn't touch any green tea from China..be warned, the packaging might look tempting but the product is inferior. Have Chinese friends who have warned me that there is no doubt most tea from China calling itself 'green' is basically fake. It is not processed in the way green tea should be processed, and its doubtful you're getting much of the antioxidant benefits by taking it. Worse still, there is widespread use of carcinogenic substances in chinese agriculture- beware ! If you want the real stuff, pay a bit ore, and stick to the authentic Japanese green tea.

had to give up coffee a few years ago , suggested by canadian tire rejects ,,drink green tea always and only you will have no problems with stomach. no change , last year averaged at least 2 x-tra large tim hortons green tea a day ,, gained 25 lbs. and still seeing rejects about stomach.. on the other hand i do prefer green tea to other teas.

good stuff to know and read a bout.. very informative. Will bookmark. Thanks alot :)

Green tea helps you reduce cholesterol in your body and boosts your metabolism as well.

For the reliable, effective and best weight loss tea you may check this out http://www.lovegreentea.com/wuyi-weight-loss-tea.php

Is tea from teabags equally healthy to loose tea?

I just started using green tea for weight loss and so far it has worked pretty well. I found free Green Tea Weight loss supplements at NTS. Enjoy

To the people who don't like the flavour of green tea, try Celestial Seasonings Blueberry Green Tea or Burke & Higgins Pear Green Tea. They're fabulous! From what I understand, white tea also has the same benefits as green. White tea also come in very tasty flavours. A couple of websites that offer a wide variety of loose teas are: www.adagio.com and www.teagarden.com.

Could we please get some information on Rooibus tea or white tea as I've read elsewhere that these teas (esp. rooibus) has more antioxidants that other teas.

thanks, Esther

Those are a few of the many great reasons to drink tea. There are also a few reasons not to though, so watch out. Thanks for the post.

Are Green Tea Capsules such as Green Tea extreme (i'm taking them) as effective as drinking the actual tea itself because I'm not really fond of the flavor

hi,
what is the best commercial
green tea on the market?

thank you.

No, you don't have to go to an oriental store to get good tea. Ever heard of Teavana? All sort of teas-red,white,green,black. They have quite an assortment of teas, plus teacup/pot sets, and brewing mugs. Personally, while the quality may be better, I don't actually think loose leaf tea tastes better. If there isn't a Teavana store near you, they do have a website.

The Chinese have been drinking tea for centuries and they tend to live to old age.The men tend to be avid tea drinkers and like it strong! They will often use the same cup(Tall) or mug for years on end and can be proud of the stains left over time!!
Their style is as follows= They put a very big pinch of dried leaves or tea flowers in the mug,pour on water that has boiled and left to cool briefly.The first cup,is frowned upon!,some actually rinse and throw away(This cleans the tea).The mug is then refilled through the day repeatedly when it gets half empty with hot water.It might well be filled 7 or more times with that same tea.They believe it gets better with each top up!They never drink it down to the bottom.Always half down.
I have chinese tea i bought in china.I half fill the first cup and pour away 10 mins later,then do the above all through the day.I stop before 7pm.I believe they do the above due to possible pollution but some tea is grown high in the mountains.In china you can pay up to 400 us dollars for a bag of tea.Depends on the quality.My mrs who is chinese reckons it removes the fat layer from your intestines,your body always needs this lining,so takes fat from stores to reline it.I am not sure but hay! I often use lemon leaves for something different,Enjoy

The benefits of green tea come from the brewing process. Period. It has to be done right, or you get very little from it. Information about the proper brewing for health benefits are all over the web.

Still, a lot of us have hectic lives, so what's a good bottled green tea?

The best bottled green tea I've found is by Young Energy Source (YES) out of Taiwan. The brewing method is just about the closest to fresh-brewed there is, using a technique pioneered in Japan to carry over the benefits of green tea into a bottled product. I haven't been able to find a bottled green tea that tastes as good as this one.

Ingredients: YES uses jasmine green tea, which is a flavor i enjoy (I'm not much on fruit-flavored tea--tastes like Kool_aid, not natural!). YES also uses mineral water as the base. In the unsweetened version, that's the entire list of ingredients: Tea. And Water. The sweetened version adds a bit of fructose. And that's it. Nothing else. No preservatives. Nothing artificial. This is a good thing.

Health benefits: YES offers an unsweetened green and one lightly sweetened with fructose. Not high fructose corn syrup. Just fructose, and not much of it. It's just sweet enough to take away the bitterness green tea can sometimes have. I think the sugar content for the 700 ml bottle (almost 24 oz) is something like 24g, about 1/2 of what most 12oz sodas have. The Sodium content is rather high at 81 g for 700 ml, but a 12 oz Coke has at least 50 g of sodium. Still better there, for the 90% of us who aren't sodium sensitive.

The important benefit for me is no phosphoric acid in the YES tea, which the American bottled green tea brands all seem to have. Phosphoric acid is definitely linked to kidney disease. I'm one of those people who develops kidney stones if I consume drinks containing phosphoric acid. No fun. That's why I had to look for a new bottled drink (besides water) for my breaks and lunches at work.

Diet benefits: Since I've switched to drinking water and this tea, I've lost about 20 pounds. Without trying. Without changing my basic diet.

Price: Bottled tea is a lot more expensive than buying soda by the case. No getting around that. But there are ways to make it bearable. While YES tea is available at my regular supermarket, buying it there costs over $50 for 24 700 ml drinks. At my local Asian market, I get the exact same 24/700 for 23.95. No contest! Since my son and I go through at least 2 cases a week (it's just about all I drink now), I make the extra trip. Even these days, I don't spend that much in gasoline, believe me.

Additional info: The YES green tea comes in 2L and 700 ml sizes. The 2L case (about $18.75 at my favorite Asian market) has 6 bottles in it, while the 700ml has 24. Distribution is through Well Luck Co., for anyone wanting to get an Asian market to carry it.

Note: Two other kinds of tea I've enjoyed from this same company are Barley and Oolong. I wasn't impressed with the Plum-flavored green. It tasted off to me.

What is the best green tea for getting the most benefits? I'd like a name, please.

I think the lack of answers is that a lot of them are repeat questions.

Anna, I'd ask your doctor about varicose veins. My daughter had them quite badly after her last baby, and the pain sent her to emergency one night. As well, my friend required surgery on hers.

Here is a website with loads of info. But see your doctor before you try any holistic or natural remedy.

The feedback email is for asking questions about the forum system itself, or perhaps reporting abuse.

My response from the feedback email regarding what was allowed on the forum (also posted below) was:

"The message boards are a place for comments, inquiries and discussion."

"Inquiries." AKA "Questions". Over the past few days the forum is filled with great suggestions.

If you have a question for Drs Oz or Roizen, there is a place for that on the home page, I think.

I don't have access to natural wild teas. Is this something you can get retail?
I think good quality teas are your best bet. Organic if you can find it. Every one is a little suspicious of things packaged in or grown in China these days and perhaps with good reason. Pet food, Heparin, Mattel toys, among others. You have to read labels with more care than ever before.

They say that if your dyed hair is getting brassy you can tone it down by using steeped black tea as your final rinse (don't rinse it out.) My last temporary colouring (Golden Sienna) now looks like old carrots. I'm going to give it a try.

I'd be reluctant to buy any herb from China, unless I knew it was wildcrafted - grown in the wild, and sustainably harvested so that the entire plant is not destroyed. There are NO pesticide regulations in China on their commercial crop production. Add that to their air pollution problem...and who really knows what you're drinking? I prefer organically grown or wild-harvested stuff. Just my .02 cents...

Oh...and to all the people who are wondering about why their questions haven't been answered, I think this has been said about 3 times now...you have to send the question in an e-mail...
