"The Japanese custom of drinking green tea came from China about 800 AD. The use of tea started when Buddhist monks, who had gone to China for study, returned to Japan bringing tea with them as a medicinal beverage. In the Kamakura era (1191-1333),the monk Eisai stressed the beneficial effects of tea in his book Maintaining Health by Drinking Tea (1211) : "Tea is a miraculous medicine for the maintenance of health. Tea has an extraordinary power to prolong life. Anywhere a person cultivates tea, long life will follow. In ancient and modern times, tea is the elixir that creates the mountain-dwelling immortal." From this passage we can see that green tea has from early times been highly valued as a powerful medication. But in recent years research into the effects of green tea has progressed so far it can now provide scientific confirmation for the legendary saying that "Tea is a miraculous medicine for the maintenance of health." It is becoming increasingly clear that green tea has a broad efficacy in preventing disease. "

Do you guys think that Lipton green tea is just as good as any other? It does say 100% natural green tea, and the only ingredient is green tea.
I drink 1 cup daily, but Fonz was saying how it has to have at least 40% ECGG or something like that to be effective..

It has also been suggested that Green tea increases metabolism. Although studies are only suggestive and not conclusive...

Here are some findings

- A study of 12 normal-weight men, conducted by Department of Agriculture researchers. It showed that when the men drank five cups of water with caffeine in eight hours, they had a 3.4% increase in calories burned in a 24-hour period compared with drinking plain water. When they drank five cups of oolong (dark) tea containing the same amount of caffeine, they had a 2.9% increase in calories burned. The difference between the tea and the caffeinated water was not statistically significant.
After drinking the tea, they also experienced an increase in the amount of body fat that was used as fuel, suggesting that the caffeine and other components of tea may mobilize fat stores for use as energy, experts say.

- A study of 10 healthy young men conducted by Swiss researchers showed a roughly 3% to 4% increase in calories burned for men taking green tea extract and caffeine over those taking caffeine alone or a placebo. They also found an increase in the use of fat as fuel for those consuming the green tea extract.

- "In our study, men burned, on average, an additional 65 calories during the day that they drank the five cups of oolong tea. Scientists aren't sure whether it's the caffeine or the components called catechins in tea that may cause the metabolic increase," she says.
