Green Tea! Great for your Health & Your Wallet

Skip Starbucks.  Drive by Dunkin...

Steep yourself a cup of Green Tea! It's good for your health & your wallet!

Drinking Green Tea is an inexpensive way to boost your health.  Here's some proof:

• Columbia University found that drinking 5 to 6 cups of Green Tea per day over 6 months significantly lowered the risk of pancreatic, esophageal, colon, stomach, bladder and breast cancer.
• Mayo Clinic found green tea helps kill cells of the most common leukemia in the US.  The EGCG in green tea helps kill leukemia cells by interrupting the communication signals they need to survive.
• The Journal of the National Cancer Institute found that EGCG selectively destroyed cancerous cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed.  Green tea inhibits the spread of local tumors.  EGCG interferes with the way the disease invades cells and breaks down healthy tissue.
• National Institute of Environmental Medicine studied more than 61,000 women and concluded that drinking two cups of black or green tea cuts the risk of ovarian cancer by 46% compared to non-tea drinkers.

So now, which Green Tea should you choose?  Organic is always a good bet!  But sometimes stores like Whole Foods and The Fresh Market can be a little pricey.  Try shopping online and in bulk for Green Tea.  Stash Organic Green Tea is only $19.49 for 6 boxes with 18 tea bags in each box at Shop.com.  That's less than 20 cents per cup!   Now I'll drink to that!
