We know that tea’s powerful phytonutrient power comes from antioxidant compounds called catechins, which are astringent, water-soluble substances that can be easily oxidized. They are a subgroup of phytonutrient known as flavonoids, compounds widely available in vegetables, fruits, tea, coffee, chocolate, and wine. The antioxidant potential of both green and black teas, as measured by the Phenol Antioxidant Index, was found to be significantly higher than that of grape juice and red wines. So is one type of tea better than another?
Green tea is manufactured from fresh, unfermented tea leaves; the oxidation of catechins is minimal and hence, they are able to serve as antioxidants. This is desirable because ECG is probably the most powerful cancer-fighting compound of all. In order to make black tea, leaves must be fermented, which unfortunately reduces the ECG content of the tea but creates some additional compounds (theaflavins, bisflavonols and thearubigens) that possess some disease-fighting potential involves ECG, so we know a lot more about green tea than black tea in that regard.
Most research has focused on green tea in people who drink between three and six cups of green tea each day. We already know green tea can help prevent and treat cancer, reduce the risk of hearth disease, fight infection, boost immunity and help the body burn extra fat and lower blood sugar levels. Therefore, my money is on green tea until further research proves black tea is as good or better.
