Green Tea is an illusion of the new generation & consumed by the most health-conscious people around the world. Here you will get to know about some of the myths we strongly believe about this Magic Tea.

The Biggest Myth About Green Tea Is Weight Loss

There are various researchers who claimed the benefits of Green Tea. But the most salutary benefit we have taken seriously about Green Tea is weight loss. In the age of Instagram and other social media, everyone wants to look fit and healthy. 

But nobody wants to push themselves to follow a good diet and exercise. Hence, the utmost thing they can do is to have Green Tea to shred some extra pounds. 

In reality, everything is just a marketing gimmick and there is no perfect evidence from genuine human clinical researchers that Green Tea assists in losing weight in the human body.

Green Tea can enhance your mental alertness because it contains a tiny portion of caffeine. So, only a good workout schedule and healthy lifestyle can make you look fit and best in shape.

Green Tea Can Defend Cancer

Another myth about Green Tea consumption is that it can help to prevent cancer disease. However, research has shown there is no positive evidence that Green Tea can actually defend against cancer.

Even Green Tea can be trouble for cancer patients as it interferes with the chemotherapy drug Velcade and other inhibitors. So, Green Tea should be avoided by patients taking such types of medications on a daily basis.

Only Green Tea Can Make Skin Looks Young

We know that Green Tea is a far more popular beverage than any other tea like

Black Tea. People are assuming that black tea can’t have the antioxidants to act as an anti-aging agent. But both beverages contain beneficial antioxidants. 

Green Tea contains Theaflavins formed as a result of the co-oxidation of selected pairs of catechins catalyzed by polyphenols oxidase. Black Tea also contains Theaflavin which is formed from catechins during the fermentation named enzymatic oxidation. So, the Theaflavins in Black Tea and Catechins in Green Tea both are uniformly effective antioxidants.

It Can Manage Glycemic Control

It is believed that the consumption of Green Tea can lower Fasting Blood Sugar. It

solely depends on how we are consuming this beverage. Most of us prefer to take it with some sugar for its pungent or spiky nature which can affect our bodies. 

The unsweetened portion of Green Tea may lower the sugar level but in recent studies the Green Tea’s effect on HbA1c and Fasting Insulin levels was incoherent.

The Bottom Line

Green Tea can be a hot topic in today’s world but there are so much of facts claimed about this beverage that is still pending further studies and research. We cannot assume anything until the truth claims are disclosed. Some of the claims made could be a marketing gimmick and we should try to focus on those myths rather than just believing and drinking the same daily with high expectations for some miracles to happen.
