got this from googling

[FONT=verdana, geneva, helvetica]To sum up, here are just a few medical conditions in which drinking green tea is reputed to be helpful:[/FONT]

• [FONT=verdana, geneva, helvetica]cancer[/FONT]
• [FONT=verdana, geneva, helvetica]rheumatoid arthritis[/FONT]
• [FONT=verdana, geneva, helvetica]high cholesterol levels[/FONT]
• [FONT=verdana, geneva, helvetica]cariovascular disease[/FONT]
• [FONT=verdana, geneva, helvetica]infection[/FONT]
• [FONT=verdana, geneva, helvetica]impaired immune function[/FONT]​

[FONT=verdana, geneva, helvetica]Other Benefits[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana, geneva, helvetica]New evidence is emerging that green tea can even help dieters. In November, 1999, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published the results of a study at the University of Geneva in Switzerland. Researchers found that men who were given a combination of caffeine and green tea extract burned more calories than those given only caffeine or a placebo.[/FONT]


[FONT=verdana, geneva, helvetica]Harmful Effects? [/FONT]
[FONT=verdana, geneva, helvetica]To date, the only negative side effect reported from drinking green tea is insomnia due to the fact that it contains caffeine.[/FONT]

I have a couple of mugs of green tea a day. I find it is a bit of an appetite suppressant, as well as helping me get things shifting in the loo department!

I drink it to aid digestion and as Hellie says, a cuppa a day keeps the egg plug at bay!
