I found such wonderful and informative information in this book. From general health benefits of drinking green tea to chapters dedicated to specific health problems such as different cancers, dental health, cardio, etc. Everything is backed-up with study and research results so you know actual numbers. And if it's not a fact, they let you know. I drink a lot more green tea now!

My version of this book was published in 1996. So it includes only the earliest studies to be done on the health benefits of tea, particularly the media darling green tea.

It's not a bad thing because a lot was already understood about nutrition in the 90s. A lot more studies have been done on tea, substantiating some miraculous capabilities.

But this book offers a reader-friendly synopsis of the many different aspects of dietary disease prevention, mainly with your favorite beverage: tea.

This book covers such a variety of health benefits of green tea; including cancers, heart disease, dental and skin care.

Tons of easy to read research is included. Very through and factual.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book while sipping my green (and white) tea.

The book was a very good informative and reference type item. I am pleased with the purchase and would recommend it to anyone who has a desire to learn more about green tea than is seen in many articles.

I haven't read this all the way through but on a good skim through I learned a lot on a subject I knew was important and good but not sure of the details behind it. I've doubled my intake of green tea since the purchase!

"The Green Tea Book" is a great book to get information concerning all aspects concerning tea. Very informative. You will be amazed at some of the things you will learn concerning teas. This is a great gift idea for anyone who is interested in tea. I liked the book so much I have bought it for my at home book collection. Thanks for carrying it Amazon.

While I often enjoy drinking green tea because of its taste, this book presents some its healthful benefits that are said to be scientifically based. At least I think they're scientifically based. Apparently subsequent information has been published that contradicts Dr. Mitscher's findings. The impact of the existence of polyphenols and antioxidents has not clearly been substantiated. I am not a scientist, so I am still confused on the issue, and this book only adds to my confusion. However, it does provide hope. Thus, I will continue to drink green tea because I like it. If it proves to be as healthful as this book claims, I have only gained.

it is easy to read,and if you like black tea you will also like green tea ,a really great book about tea
