I don't have any questions, I just wanted to thank you for bringing life back to me.
I was so sick and now I am feeling as good as I did twenty years ago! It has been a long battle: no energy, aches and pains going from one
Dr. to the next. They told me it was anything from arthritis to depression; they had me on steroids for three years... All behind me now!
I just don't know how to thank you. I think it would be wonderful if you could just be everywhere with your caring heart. Information and the
real reason behind all of the bad, sick days that so many of us have had.
Sincerely, Jessica...@telusplanet.net

New research from the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Eye Hospital have found that compounds can migrate from the digestive system into the eye tissues. Their study showed that green tea catechins could potentially guard against eye diseases like glaucoma.
Green tea extract (GTE) was put into tablet form and dissolved in 0.5 mL of water. Experiemental rats were then fed 550 mg/kg a day.The study of rats that drank green tea found that their retina, and lens had taken in high amounts of green tea catechins, which had antioxidative effects on the eye. The time of maximum concentration of catechins ranged from ½ to 12 hours. The catechins were also distributed at different levels across the eye. Oxidative stress is harmful to DNA and can damage cell tissue and finally lead to ophthalmic diseases.
Green tea has been found in previous studies to reduce Alzheimer's and cancer risk by helping weight management, cardiovascular, and oral health. The study also found that the effects of green tea catechins in reducing harmful oxidative stress in the eye lasted for up to 20 hours.
