Researchers said that drinking 4 or more cups of green tea a day, plus 2 or more cups of coffee may be directly related to a 63% reduction in the risk of death from type 2 diabetes within a 5-year time frame; patients with type 2 diabetes are more likely to develop circulatory diseases , Dementia, cancer and fractures, etc.

From the beginning of the study to September 2019, the researchers searched multiple databases to find relevant clinical trials, that is, relevant clinical trials that analyzed the impact of green tea extract on obese people; in randomized controlled trials, the researchers found that intake The body weight and body mass index (BMI) of the green tea population will significantly decrease.

Studies have found that intestinal microbes may affect the body’s allergic immune response.
Recently, in a research report published in the international journal Frontiers in Immunology, scientists from Shinshu University and other institutions analyzed tea and its effects on the intestines.
In the article, the researchers observed the influence of green tea on the abundance of the anaerobic bacteria Flavonifractor plautii (FP) in the intestine.
Previously, researchers believed that FP is very important for intestinal catechol metabolism, and catechin Phenols are antioxidants in many foods including green tea.
30%-42% of the dry weight in green tea is catechins.

In this study, the researchers found that oral FP can significantly inhibit the body's Th2 immune response to food allergies in the body.
The food we eat will affect a variety of intestinal flora, and the intake of green tea will increase the suppression of Th2 immunity.
The abundance of the reactive FP flora, FP is one of the Clostridium family, and Clostridium is believed to have a certain effect on the immune system.
It is worth noting that it can effectively inhibit the body's inflammatory response.
In addition, certain clostridia can also help lower blood pressure, and some flora are more abundant in the body of thin people (not fat people), which may help researchers to study new strategies for regulating body weight.

Recently, in a research report published in the international journal Journal of Medical Microbiology, scientists from the University of Surrey and other institutions found through research that a natural antioxidant in green tea may help eliminate antibiotic-resistant bacteria; this A compound called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) can restore the activity of the antibiotic aztreonam, which is a commonly used antibiotic that can treat infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is associated with severe respiratory and blood infections.
In recent years, it has begun to develop resistance to a variety of major antibiotics.
Currently, researchers often use a combination of antibiotics to treat infections caused by the bacteria.
The infection caused is becoming more and more difficult to treat; in order to evaluate the synergistic therapeutic effect of EGCG and aztreonam, the researchers conducted in vitro experiments to analyze the mechanism of its (single and combined) interaction with Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The researchers found that Compared with single treatment, the combination of EGCG and aztreonam can effectively reduce the number and level of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Researchers from the University of Southern California (USC) said that a diet containing certain substances in green tea and carrots can reverse Alzheimer’s-like symptoms in mice that carry genetic mutations and should have suffered from Alzheimer’s.
Silent disease.
The researchers said that the study recently published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry was carried out in mice, but many findings from mice could not be successfully replicated in humans.
In any case, this research adds credibility to the idea that certain ready-made, plant-based supplements may provide protection against human dementia.

"No one wants to spend 10-12 years waiting for a newly designed new drug to be introduced to the market.
You can change your diet today.
" said Terrence Town, the corresponding author of the study and a professor of physiology and neuroscience at USC Keck School of Medicine.
.
"I found this to be very encouraging.
" In addition, this study also shows that combination therapy may be the best way to treat Alzheimer's disease.

Green tea is a popular health trend, and many people drink green tea hoping to benefit from it.
Nutritionists say there is nothing wrong with this.
Green tea is a healthy drink rich in antioxidants.
But many so-called health benefits of it have not been conclusive.
Nancy Farrell Allen, a registered dietitian in Fredericksburg, Virginia, said: "Clinical trials related to green tea are still in the early stages.
I said drink it and enjoy it.
It will not cause harm, and there may be something worth drinking.
Good.
But nutrition is a science, and our understanding needs time to advance.
"

Chelsey Schneider, director of clinical nutrition at the Beth Israel Cancer Center at Mount Sinai in New York City, said that the potential health benefits of green tea come from catechins, which are powerful antioxidant compounds called flavonoids.
She said that green tea has a higher content of EGCG, a catechin, than white or black tea.

Schneider said: "This compound can even be stronger than vitamins C and E, which are very, very powerful antioxidants.
" Antioxidants help prevent cell damage.
Allen said: "Green tea, black tea and white tea all come from the same plant.

For a long time, scientists have often had some inconsistent research results on the association between green tea intake and the risk of type 2 diabetes; recently, a research report published in the International Journal of Epidemiology, from Scientists at Vanderbilt University investigated the connection between the two through research.

Researcher Xiao-Ou Shu said that in this study, we found that drinking green tea can increase the risk of type 2 diabetes in Chinese adults.
For Chinese adults, tea is one of its most popular drinks.
In the article, the researchers studied 119,373 participants from the "Shanghai Women's Research and Men's Research Project" who did not have diabetes when they were recruited into the study.

Researchers from the University of Glasgow in the United Kingdom conducted a 37-year study of more than 6000 men, and found that people who drink more than 7 cups of tea a day have a 50% increase in prostate cancer risk than those who drink less than 3 cups of tea a day.
Their findings are contrary to previous studies that said drinking tea can reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and Parkinson's disease.
However, the latest randomized controlled study published by Kumar NB proved that the use of green tea catechol for one year does not reduce the risk of prostate cancer.
This study used a placebo control, and the green tea catechol mixture included 400 mg of catechins (EGCG), used daily for 1 year, but compared with placebo, it did not reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

Some studies believe that green tea itself may not have much effect on prostate cancer, but it can enhance the effect of chemotherapeutics.
Researchers began this study in 1970.
Participants were between 21 and 75 years old and were asked to complete a questionnaire on the amount of tea, coffee, and alcohol, as well as smoking habits and health status.
At that time, less than a quarter of the 6,016 people drank more than 7 cups of tea a day.
In the following 37 years, 6.
4% of these people developed prostate cancer.
