American and Chinese researchers have been studying Green Tea and how it effects the levels of Cholesterol. Views are still mixed as there seems to be pros and cons for both sides of the research.
When the research was conducted, approximately 200 men and women (average age 55) who have mild to moderately high LDL cholesterol levels joined in the case study. The researchers told them to keep their usual activity levels the same as before and eat the same way. After twelve weeks, it was shown that individuals who consumed green tea extract with their normal meals lost more than fifteen percent of their total LDL cholesterol levels.
It has never been explained in detail exactly how green tea effects the levels of cholesterol but certain components found in green tea have proven to play a key role in excreting cholesterol from the body.
Th researchers stated in a later report that the first group of participants did not lose cholesterol as a result of drinking green tea. So let me get this right, first you provide proof that they did, and now you say they didn't! Did I read that right? How much did you pay for your education again??
The medical community really frustrates me at times. It seems that anything organic does not get the support it should get. Here is an example of what I am talking about.
When my oldest was 3, he got the worse case of chicken pox I have ever seen. There was not one square inch of him that was not infected. This boy was in so much pain from being so itchy that we took him to the hospital 3 times to try and find something that could help him. 3 trips later, nothing was prescribed.
Finally a family member recommended for us to try the extract from an Aloe Vera plant. Once I found one to buy, I applied it to my son and with in 15 minuets he had stopped crying, and he was no longer itchy.
My youngest son got the chicken pox when he was 6 months old. We had to take him to the hospital just to be safe (6 months old is a bad age to get the chicken pox) and when we were there I told the nurse what we got to work with our oldest boy. She told us she knew that all ready. I asked why no one would tell us and her response was "we are not permitted to recommend organic forms of medicine" I was like.....ok, just let the kid suffer then?
So you can clearly see that the opinion of some doctors is swayed by the opinion of the pharmaceutical companies. I guess if it is not supported by the big pharmaceutical companies then it can't be good for you right? - 15683
