Note that antioxidants have chnaged their percpetion by the scientific community, too. They are no longer seen as the miracle catchers of free radicals, in fact it seems that they even can do damage.
What they now focus on to say is that you need a good balance between both antioxidants
and free radicals, else, with not enough free radicals, the imune system looses in striking power.
Do not buy tead bags. That is guarantee for bad green tee. Do not - never any tea! - brew it with hot boiling water that still produces bubbles - let it cool down a bit, 1-2 minutes. That boiling water tip is BS advice from teabag producers not knowing their stuff. Use loose tea, and ask for as good one - the differences in different green teas are very very huge. Brew it
very short only. 2 Minutes, not more. It shall not taste strong, and it shall not get bitter, which it easily does.
Have to say that I like Japanese Green Tea very much. There are a couple of Chinese teas as well that by taste are somewhat familiar, White Tea/Pai Mu Tan for example.
Never use these with sugar or added artifical aromes. Its just water and tea - no sugar, no milk, no nothing. If you like it sweet, get African Roibosch "tea" (its no real tea plant, so no coffeine), with sugar and milk. I kill for it, occasionally!
Coffee, okay everybody knows it, but I prefer a strong espresso any time, even when it is a lie: it taste so much better and much stronger but has at least 1/3 less of coffeine, due to the different brewing method. It's also milder and more friendly in effect.
