Hi,
There are a lot of conflicting information about green tea.
On the one hand green tea contains L-theanine and caffeine and a lot of EGCG with multiple claims and studies that they are extremely healthy - anti cancer , cardio and neuroprotective effects and etc.
On the other hand green tea contains fluoride( can't found study how much) and this is no good for thyroid.
One study say that the green tea drastically lower testosterone in rodents. Other study say that green tea act as anti estrogen. Any study in humans ? What is the truth ?
I have also information that green tea wear out the endocrine system.
I'm drinking matcha tea ( with much higher concentration of L-theanine than any other green tea up to 25mg/1g tea). Seems to be this tea is not so contaminated as Chinese green tea. There are claims that 1 cup matcha = 10 cup regular tea regarding its antioxidant capacity.
I love to drink this tea but I'm confused about different claims.
I will appreciate any advice about green tea.
