I just read this medscience article which shows that the EGCG component of green tea shuts off the offending immune cells which are producing the chemical warfare which causes the damage of many autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Black tea does not have the EGCG component in it, so green tea is the beverage of choice for your health. Green tea EGCG, T cells, and T cell-mediated autoimmune diseases. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22020144 To your health! ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 i would drink both black and green teas. black tea converts EGCg into other good compounds that green tea doesnt have. alternate between different teas is a good thing rather than just green tea. take Darjeeling tea for instance http://www.ehow.com/about_5042463_health-benefits-darjeeling-tea.html http://www.darjeelingtea.com/experience/dartea.asp The health-giving properties of tea have been written about for centuries. A Materia Medica of the 1st Century AD period attributed eighteen therapeutic properties to tea: •Refreshing effect •Relaxation of nerves •Brightening of eyes •Combating alcoholism •Reduction of obesity •Cleansing the blood of heat and impurities •Quenching thirst •Treatment of abscesses •Elimination of phlegm •Curing dysentery •Stimulating digestion •Cleansing the bowels •Giving energy •Strengthening teeth always get organic if you can. Also white tea is of huge benefit for your lungs. tea's like dandelion root tea and licorice root tea are good examples you can benefit from. My wife drinks these white teas to stop Pneumonia or if she does get aspirated/Pneumoniashe heals much faster . best to research all teas, green, black, white etc... and drink each for its specific uses. the beneifits are truely amazing. and doesnt cost an arm and a leg. russ > > ----- Forwarded Message ----- > > To: Ann Baclawski > Sent: Wednesday, January 25, 2012 1:04 AM > Subject: Article: Green tea inhibits autoimmune disease > > Hi Ann, > > Been doing some reading lately in the rain on immunology stuff.
