Scientific views on how well green tea works for dieting are still mixed. Some researchers have stated cases that go both ways, for and against it. A recent article in the Archives of Internal Medicine shows that American and Chinese researchers discuss how green tea effects cholesterol levels.

Out of 200 men and women who recently participated in a case study using green tea. Out of the 50% of the people who implemented green tea in there diet, they recorded losing 15% of their cholesterol levels after only 12 weeks of using green tea in there diets. Researchers told all participants in this case study that nothing in there daily lives needed to be changed. All they had to do was just drink the green tea as directed.

It has never been explained in detail exactly how green tea effects the levels of cholesterol but certain components found in green tea have proven to play a key role in excreting cholesterol from the body.

Further studies were conducted to test the findings of the first group. Their results were conflicting. They did state green tea had no important effect on the cholesterol profiles of their subjects.

The problem I have always noticed in the medical community is that anything organic that works is not supported very well. Here is an exact example of what I am talking about.

A few years back my oldest got the worse case of chicken pox known to man. He got in everywhere and there was not a single square inch of him that didn't have a pox on it. W ended up taking him to the hospital 3 times to try and get him something to help with his pain but the doctors kept saying, there was nothing they could do. Basically, let him suffer until it passes.

I was extremely frustrated with this situation so I decided I was going to try some extract from an Aloe Vera Plant. Funny thing was, once I applied it to my son. His itching stopped with in 15 minuets, two days later, he started to clear up.

When my youngest got the chicken pox one of the same nurses that told us there was nothing we could do for our oldest boy admitted to us that she knew that the Aloe Vera plant would work to stop the itching. I asked her why no one told us about it and why my son had to suffer for a week. The nurse told us that they are no allowed to recommend anything organic. So if you know a kid is suffering, you don't say anything??

If nurses and doctors are not allowed to recommend anything organic, I am sure they are going to find a way to not support green tea as well. If it is not made by a pharmaceutical company, then it cant be good right Doc? Whatever!!!
