Green tea is so popular today!
The benefits we derive from green tea are widely known. So much so that it has gained near miracle status.
As a cancer preventative, heart disease control, cholesterol lowering properties, weight loss aid, and many more attributes come into the spotlight, the opportunity to defraud the public becomes a problem.
There are many benefits to drinking green tea, but as anything becomes extremely popular, there will be someone out there working on plans to capitalize on it. Some offerings of lower quality green tea can create medical problems resulting in lowered resistance to disease or worse.
The internet has hundreds of websites offering green tea as a diet supplement. The market is saturated with offerings of better product than the other guys and that is, for the most part, simply untrue. Green tea, as long as it has been processed as it should be, steeped and never boiled, should be a satisfactory product.
