Green tea..common myths and new facts

To find out how catechins affect the cells of the body, scientists conducted a study on a nematode worm "Caenorhabditis elegans", and found that small doses of green tea extended the life of the worm.

And on how to combine the oxidation process and increase life expectancy, the scientists confirmed that the simple idea is that the electrocardiogram and "EGCG" increase oxidative stress for a short period, which leads to an increase in the protective functions of cells, and as a result, they noticed an improvement in the physical shape of the worms. Details of this study and its results were published in the journal Aging.

And scientists noticed another property of green tea, which is that long-term treatment with antioxidants in nematodes reduces the amount of fat, and this is why they confirmed that green tea helps fight obesity.

Superstitions

It turns out that the claim that green tea is high in antioxidants is a myth, and researchers say that catechins are actually antioxidants, and this can be called "oxidative stress vaccination", and that protection is not provided by the immune system at all.

The negative process counteracts the genes that initiate the production of certain enzymes, including superoxide dismutase and catalase, which have the ability to inactivate oxygen free radicals, and, as the authors of the work note, these substances are endogenous antioxidants.

Thus, although green tea itself is not an antioxidant, it is thanks to it that these substances are produced in the body.

The disputes between black and green tea lovers have been going on for a long time, and strangely enough, science is contributing to this.

Some reports recently spoke of the fact that scientists from the Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Biophysics of the Russian Academy of Sciences claim that black tea is more beneficial because according to their studies, it fights oxidative stress 12 times better than green tea.

But Michael Resto, a senior co-author of the study described above and a professor in the Department of Health Sciences and Technology at ETH in Zurich, has a different opinion.

According to him, there is much less amount of catechins in black tea. He also noted that most of the catechins are found in Japanese green tea varieties, however other types of green tea also contain sufficient amounts of these beneficial substances.
