Many people today are switching from coffee to green tea. Great choice! Green tea contains much less caffeine than coffee. That is a good reason to switch. But a better reason is the wonderful antioxidants found in green tea.
India and China were among the first countries to cultivate tea. Green tea has been part of the Asian diet for thousands of years. Archaeological evidence reveal tea leaves were being steeped in boiling water hundreds of thousands of years ago. People still enjoy tea the same way today.

Free radicals are highly reactive molecules and molecule fragments that can harm the body at cellular levels. This leaves the body at risk to heart disease, cancer and other degenerative diseases. Catechins that are in green tea have been found to destroy free radicals in clinical studies. Controlled studies have revealed green tea extract contain the polyphenol EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate). EGCG has shown to inhibit urokinase (required for tumor formation). Therefore it has been found to prevent tumor formation. EGCG cause certain cancer cells to be in circumstances where they must die or be killed. This process is called apoptosis. Apoptosis is a programmed cell death.
The antioxidant EGCG found in green tea is very powerful. It is twice as beneficial as resveratrol found in red wine. EGCG has been found to be at least 100 times more effective than vitamin C at protecting cells and DNA. It is 25 times more effective than vitamin E at protecting cells and DNA from damage believed to be linked to heart disease, cancer, and other very serious diseases.
