                            lmao at ripped, why would you want to be ripped. Bodybuilders are not in good health when ripped and athletes don't want to be ripped either.

                            But yes greentea is good stuff, always thought it was common knowledge

                                  stats are probably flawed..

                                  most Asians drink tea, they are healthier in general...

                                  for the most part, your health has been determined through 1000's and 1000's of years of evolution...

                                  Rod, is this what you do without Hockey???

                                      It's just another plant with some addictive chemicals in them that your body loves, mainly the theobromine. Amazing how some plants are perfectly fine to put into your mouth, while others are completely evil, and doing so will cause some men to come and lock you in a big box with a bunch of people who also put a certain plant in their mouth. Strange society we live in, eh?

                                        I love green tea, but now they say black tea is even better for you. I find pure black tea the best. But I love some citrus green tea, or fruit/honey green tea mighty leaf has. BTW, if you love tea, you have to order from mightyleaf. they are a bit more expensive but their tea bags for one are a much higher quality giving you a much better brewer not to mention they give you more.

                                          Black tea has just been fermented longer than green tea. They're from the same plant. They're the same leaf even. Black tea has more caffeine in it, and less catechins in it than green tea.

                                              I drink 2 bottles a day. One thing to be real careful about: be sure to get the diet type or ensure there is no sugar added. The regular liptons green tea u see everywhere has a shitload of sugar added to it, and I guarantee you green tea won't ward off the diabetes caused by all the sugar we Americans eat every day. Remember, its not fat that makes you fat, its sugar and sodium filled foods.

                                                I drink the purest form of green tea you can possibly by. You can only buy it in China Town here in San Francisco.. It's pretty expensive but well worth it...

                                                    Okay, well I will find the article for you . It came out just recently, couple of years ago. Don't know the exact reasons.

                                                      You're doing it right though. The best we can do in my city is Whole Foods. Also best to brew it yourself. The bottled liptons stuff is cheap for a reason.
