Bigelow Green Tea Keurig K-Cups, 18 Count
K-Cup makes Green Tea from organically grown tea leaves. Green Tea is reported to be high in antioxidants. One phytochemical that normally occures in Green Tea is EGCG (Epigallocatechin Gallate). Over the years EGCG has been associated as helpful at reducing the incidence of certain cancers and other diseases. There are four primary polyphenols in green tea and they are often collectively referred to as catechins.  Powerful antioxidants, catechins have been shown in recent studies to fight viruses, slow aging, and have a beneficial effect on health. Clinical tests have shown that catechins destroy free radicals and have far-reaching positive effects on the entire body. Free radicals are highly reactive molecules and fragments of molecules that can damage the body at the cellular level leaving the body susceptible to cancer, heart disease and other degenerative diseases. According to some studies, EGCG is 100 more times more effective than vitamin C and 25 times more effective than vitamin E at protecting cells and DNA from damage believed to be linked to cancer, heart disease and other serious illnesses. This antioxidant, it is believed, delivers twice the benefits of resveratrol, found in red wine. Though proper dosage has never been determined and some studies were inconclusive, Green Tea proves to be a tasty tea beverage.
