The benefits of green tea have been known for decades. But now a super tea that has slowly emerged from Japan called Matcha is gaining more and more attention. Matcha is cultivated by local farmers using traditional methods, from growing to grinding. It has traditionally been used to flavor and dye foods such as green tea ice cream and soba noodles.
In 2003, the University of Colorado published a report about the potency and concentration of EGCG, a powerful anti-oxidant found in green tea. The researchers found that Matcha contained up to 137 times more EGCG than regular green tea.
Here are few of the amazing benefits of EGCG in Matcha, specifically about Breast Cancer. There are countless studies that demonstrate the power of EGCG as an effective Tumor Terminator. Here are just a few:
1. Suppresses inflammation and aggressive estrogen mediators in breast tissue.
