Green Tea Vs. Vaccination
A recent clinical trial showed that
green tea based supplements reduced the risk of the FLU by 75%, compared to the
60% risk reduction from the Lancet Vaccinations. One of the main polyphenols in green tea is EGCG, which
binds to the influenza virus and blocks it from attaching to the target
receptor cells. The latest trial
to test this was on a group of 198 health care workers. From this experiment it showed that
green tea provided a stunning 83% reduction in flu risk. Based off of these numbers it looks
like Green Tea should be added to everyone’s diet over the flu season.
