Decaffeinated Green Tea
Hello fellow O’s!
I haven’t asked a question in awhile, but here’s one for you all.
Does decaffeinated green tea possess the same health benefits as regular
green tea? I’ve stopped drinking regular green tea since I was diagnosed as
hypo-thyroid and have heard that caffeine worsens this condition.
Thanks!

An excerpt on Dr D’s (Itaru’s) recommended green tea….
Numerous scientific studies now document the tremendous benefits of drinking
green tea. Some of the numerous health
benefits of green tea include: provides powerful antioxidant polyphenols
(estimated as 25X the antioxidant activity of
vitamin E and 100X that of vitamin C) It promotes growth of friendly intestinal
bacteria. It decreases toxic bowel
metabolites (like polyamines), promotes cardiovascular health, prevents blood
cell aggregation and improves cholesterol
metabolism, inhibits toxin and carcinogen producing enzymes like ornithine
decarboxylase. Epidemiological evidence suggests
regular consumption of green tea reduces the risk of many cancers. Mr.
Itaru’s Blend is mildly caffeinated, but it is
important to
realize that many of the anti-cancer properties of green tea are lost if it is
de-caffeinated.
