More ???? about....?!
Answers: how much is too much to drink daily?? the green tea ? and what's the "skinny" on raw honey? i drink it hot (2 bags) sweetened with the raw honey and a little 1% milk but it's virtually tasteless. oh i purchased the green tea and the raw honey at the health food/vitamin store so it's organic., right?
There are as many answers to this question as there are researchers investigating the natural properties of green tea. For example, Herbs for Health magazine cites a Japanese report stating that men who drank ten cups of green tea per day stayed cancer-free for three years longer than men who drank less than three cups a day (there are approximately 240 - 320 mg of polyphenols in three cups of green tea). Meanwhile, a study by Cleveland's Western Reserve University concluded that drinking four or more cups of green tea per day could help prevent rheumatoid arthritis, or reduce symptoms in individuals already suffering from the disease. And Japanese scientists at the Saitama Cancer Research Institute discovered that there were fewer recurrances of breast cancer, and the disease spread less quickly, in women with a history of drinking five cups or more of green tea daily.
Raw honey is better if is not heated or strained because the benefits of these phytonutrients are largely eliminated.
Like all foods - depend on the quality of the honey. But in this case, the situation is even more extreme, because the pollen that collects on the bees' legs as they move from plant to plant is only as healthful and as diverse as those plants.
I like green tea just as it is. Green.
