Drink up - Scoop: health fitness nutrition diet supplements personal care environment - heart attacks less likely if green tea consumed - Brief Article
Vegetarian Times, April, 2003
Participants in a Japanese study who drank at least one cup of green tea per day were 42 percent less likely to suffer heart attacks than those who did not, reports a Japanese study published in the November 15, 2002 issue of The American Journal of Cardiology. Green tea contains heart-healthy flavonoids, also found in fruits, vegetables and red wine--which is the greatest dietary source of these antioxidants among the French.
Americans get the bulk of their flavonoids from fruits and vegetables, and the Japanese get theirs from green tea, their most common beverage. Heart disease is less common in Japan than in the West, and heavy consumption of green tea may explain why.
