Is any other food or drink reported to have as many health benefits as green tea? The Chinese have known about the medicinal benefits of green tea since ancient times, using it to treat everything from headaches to depression.
But Today, scientific research done by professor said Hasan Mukhtar, a professor of dermatology from University of Wisconsin-Madison demonstrate that low doses of the COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib, administered with a green tea, can slow the growth of human prostate cancer.
Proff.Mukhtar has done other researches on the grean tea, it was 1999 when he said green Tea Can Help Prevent Rheumatoid Arthritis!

There are basically four different types of tea: white tea, green tea, oolong tea, and black tea.
The variety of green tea depends on it's origin: Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Sri Lanka Ceylon, Vietnamese, herbal, and decaf.
But the types you have just mentioned is trade variety.
The different types of green tea emerge due to differing locations on where the tea is grown, slight changes in how the tea is cultivated, the differing climate in locations and a whole host of other factors.

Did you know the only side effect from it is insomnia. That is due to the fact it contains caffeine. However, green tea contains less caffeine than coffee.
