I am elated at the news that just passed my desk! I was on my way home and decided to check email one last time. WOW am I glad I did!

Green Tea Consumption and Mortality Due to Cardiovascular Disease, Cancer, and All Causes in Japan
The Ohsaki Study

Read the findings at JAMA


The Japanese study included over 40,000 people! This was mainly geared towards Cardio Vascular Disease. But over the 11 year period 4,209 participants died, while in the cause-specific seven-year segment, 892 participants died of Cardio Vascular Disease and 1,134 of cancer.

The exciting part is that women who drank five or more cups of green tea daily had a 31% lower risk of dying from Cardio Vascular Disease than women who drank less than one cup daily (that would be none). The women drinking five cups of green tea daily dropped the risk of stroke mortality by 62%!!! And all-cause mortality by 23 percent.

These numbers are astounding! Some of the oldest people in the world live in Japan and the Japanese have longest longevity in the world.

this story is being picked up by hundreds of major news media channels including:

National Public Radio
CBS News
Fox News
Medical News Today
and many more.

This is HUGE news everybody! This study is a watershed to further promote the awareness of tea and FDA-approved health claims.

But more than this, it is another key in our personal day to day health care for our bodies. Here's to your health!
