The secret of green tea lies in the fact that it is rich in catechin, polyphenols, particularly
EGCG. The EGCG is a powerful anti-oxidant: besides inhibiting the growth of cancer
cells, it kills cancer cells without harming healthy tissue. It has also been effective in
lowering LDL cholesterol levels, inhibiting the abnormal formation of blood clots,
reduction of platelet aggregation, lipid regulation and inhibition of proliferation and
migration of smooth muscle cells
