Are there natural healing agents in Green Tea?

Green tea is really good for health. It increases the fat oxidation and promotes weight loss. But it is more known for its anticancer properties. Green tea is high in an anti-oxidant known as "epigallocatechin gallate", or EGCG for short. Clinical tests show that EGCG not only inhibits the growth of new cancer cells, but it kills some existing cancer cells without harming normal cells. EGCG also reportedly inhibits the unnatural formation of blood clots which have been known to cause thrombosis, one of the leading causes of heart attacks and stroke. Green tea and black tea both come from the Camellia sinensis plant yet only green tea has been found to have these medicinal properties. Researchers believe this is because green tea is manufactured using a process where the tea-producing plant's leaves are steamed instead of being fermented like the other varieties. This steaming process leaves the EGCG compounds undamaged.

Yes. But the effect isn't obvious unless people drink green tea for a long time, maybe serval decades:(

Regular use of green tea will help to prevent rheumatoid arthritis, high cholesterol level, cardio vascular diseases. It contains more antioxident properties than Black tea. It slow down the ageing process and also helps to control diabetes

my grandmother of 87 takes green tea, and she has been taking it for years. she claims it has some therapeutical effect of some sort to her and that she sees no poblem taking it. i am drinking it too, occasionally. ;]
