Any proof that green tea lowers “bad” cholesterol?

Guest post is written by Cellan Diet. Recent research indicates that EGCG found in green tea helps to lower LDL levels in the blood. This is why Cellan Diet Pills contains 100 percent green tea extract.

Chinese people have been drinking green tea for centuries. They believe it help to digest food faster and bring other benefits to the human body. Not known until recent past is that green tea contains a catechin known as EGCG (epigallocatechin 3-gallate) that helps to lower “bad” cholesterol or LDL (low-density lipoprotein). More recent studies on green tea reveals that drinking several cups of green tea a day generates enough EGCG to effectively lower LDL levels in the blood stream. Minimal processing involved with green tea helps to maintain its value. Besides lowering “bad” cholesterol, green tea also known to control free radicals, inhibit cancer cell growth, and inhibit formation of abnormal blood clots. Jury is still out there whether green tea extract brings the same benefits as drinking several cups of green tea. For those who are unable to practice drinking green tea, using green tea extract such as those contained in Cellan may provide a better option. Cellan contains 100 percent green tea extract.
