both teas are good for you, here are just a few medical conditions in which drinking green tea is reputed to be helpful:
cancer
rheumatoid arthritis
high cholesterol levels
cariovascular disease
infection
impaired immune function
The secret of green tea lies in the fact it is rich in catechin polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG is a powerful anti-oxidant: besides inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, it kills cancer cells without harming healthy tissue. It has also been effective in lowering LDL cholesterol levels, and inhibiting the abnormal formation of blood clots. The latter takes on added importance when you consider that thrombosis (the formation of abnormal blood clots) is the leading cause of heart attacks and stroke.
green tea can even help dieters
Green tea can even help prevent tooth decay! Just as its bacteria-destroying abilities can help prevent food poisoning, it can also kill the bacteria that causes dental plaque. Meanwhile, skin preparations containing green tea - from deodorants to creams - are starting to appear on the market.
the only negative side effect reported from drinking green tea is insomnia due to the fact that it contains caffeine.
in comparison white tea white tea comes from the Camellia sinensis plant. White tea is similar to green tea, in that it's undergone very little processing and no fermentation. But there is a noticable difference in taste. Most green teas have a distinctive 'grassy' taste to them, but white tea does not.There is also considerably less caffeine in white tea .research shows White Tea Extract can actually destroy in vitro the organisms that cause disease. Study after study with tea extract proves that it has many healing properties. This is not an old wives tale, it's a fact."
White tea was more effective than green tea at inactivating bacterial viruses. Results obtained with the bacterial virus, a model system; suggest that WTE may have an anti-viral effect on human pathogenic viruses. The addition of White Tea Extract to various toothpastes enhanced the anti-microbial effect of these oral agents.
Studies have also indicated that WTE has an anti-fungal effect on Penicillium chrysogenum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In the presence of WTE, Penicillium spores and Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cells were totally inactivated. It is suggested that WTE may have an anti-fungal effect on pathogenic fungi.

Good luck.
Regular tea :- The tea leaves are left in the air to dry, wilting and losing most of their moisture; then they are rolled to further oxidize. Heat is used to stop the process in a mechanical dryer, using a process called "panning."
Regular tea always has caffeine, even when "decaffeinated," which only reduces the amount of caffeine in the tea and does not remove caffeine. It usually has the most caffeine of the teas.
Green tea :-Green tea is well-known for its antioxidants, which are known to have health benefits. Recent studies have associated green tea with some anti-carcinogens. Other possible benefits include fertility benefits, weight loss, and lowered risk of heart disease.
The leaves are dried quickly after plucking to prevent oxidation, often being steamed to halt the natural oxidation enzymes. To avoid cooking the leaves, it should be brewed in water that is well below boiling in temperature; to do otherwise damages the flavors.
