Green Tea
 
It is not known exactly how much you need to reap the potential benefits, but four cups a day or more may be required for benefit. Check your local health food store for decaffeinated green tea capsules. Studies have shown that several cups of Green Tea a day can substantially reduce an individual's risk for heart disease and stroke.

Oral Hygiene and Dental Care
Fluoride in Green Tea stabilizes tooth enamel and the ECGC reduces the development of bacteria growing in the plaque. Green Tea can also kill other oral bacteria that cause bad breath.

Rheumatoid Arthritis
Although there is no epidemiologic data, anecdotal evidence indicates that people in countries where green tea is consumed are far less likely to have rheumatoid arthritis. Unlike other antioxidants, those found in Green Tea cause no toxic side-effects.
