DALLAS, TX (PRWEB) September 19, 2004 -- The fact that green tea provides fabulous health properties is undisputed. But, when it comes to taste, its simply not everyones cup of tea.

What makes green tea such a powerful addition to healthy lifestyles is that it is rich in catechin polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG is a powerful antioxidant that provides health benefits beyond the ability to neutralize free radicals. It is also shown to limit cancer tumor growth, inhibit cancer cell development, lower LDL or bad cholesterol, and fight the creation of blood clots.

So-called carb avoids" that are living the low carbohydrate craze through diets like Atkins® or South Beach will be pleased to find that the B vitamin complex in green tea aids in carbohydrate metabolism and, of course, the tea contains no carbohydrates.

A study by the American Cancer Society reports that green tea, in drink form, may help prevent skin cancer. Other medical conditions for which drinking green tea is reputed to be helpful include rheumatoid arthritis, weight management, cardiovascular disease, infection, and impaired immune function.

The new Green Line from The Original Ceylon Tea Company will make its American debut in Albertsons Stores throughout Colorado, before rolling out nationally. The line will also appear soon at Whole Foods Markets, Central Markets, Fiesta Stores and more.
