The leaves of the camellia sinensis plant contain an array of bioactive substances, but scientific interest is brewing over the medicinal properties of antioxidant polyphenol compounds known as flavonoids. In green, or unprocessed, tea, the most potent are the catechins. As tea leaves are fermented by air exposure to produce black tea, the catechins are transformed into theaflavins and thearubigins. Though all have benefits for brain and body, it may be best to consume a variety of teas.


Green Tea

* Arthritis: Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) inhibits inflammation, bone erosion, and joint damage from rheumatoid arthritis.
* Cancer: Populations that drink green tea have lower rates of cancer. EGCG combats free-radical cell damage and activates p57, a protein that protects healthy cells.
* Cholesterol: Lowers total cholesterol and raises good HDL cholesterol.
* Intestinal Inflammation: EGCG has potent anti-inflammatory properties that could help treat inflammatory bowel disease.
* Liver Disease: Lowers risk of developing liver disorders in men. May also protect liver against damaging effects of alcohol.
* Sunburn: EGCG mitigates sunburn reaction. May protect against skin cancer.

Black Tea

* Bone health: May increase bone mineral density.
* Cancer: May reduce risk of many cancers. Theaflavin-3'-monogallate (TF-2) acts as a COX-2 inhibitor to suppress cancer cells.
* Cholesterol: Drinking five cups of black tea per day lowers total cholesterol and bad LDL cholesterol.
* Heart Disease: Helps lower blood pressure. May reverse endothelial dysfunction; also reduces blood platelet activation. Adding milk to tea cancels the beneficial effect.
* Stress: Speeds recovery from stressful events, reducing levels of cortisol and diminishing blood platelet activation.



Both

* Brain health: Catechins in both green and black tea (although more concentrated in green tea) protect against buildup of amyloid deposits, implicated in Alzheimer's and other age-related neurodegenerative diseases.
* Diabetes: Improves glucose tolerance in borderline diabetics.
* Oral Health: Rich in fluoride, which protects against cavities. Theobromine found in teas appears to strengthen teeth and protect against cavities better than fluoride. Added to chewing gum, green tea extract protects gum tissue and stimulates salivary glands.
* Weight Control: Catechins stimulate thermogenesis, boosting fat metabolism and calorie expenditure.
