Tea (black, green or white) contains alkaloids and bioflavinoids that have some health benefits. Different blends contain them in different quantities, but no one colour of tea has any particular health benefits over another.

Tea - and raspberry leaf teas - have a mild diuretic effect. If you change to a different type of tea, you can become slightly dehydrated and lose weight. As soon as your body gets used to it, the weight goes back on. As a nation, we are pre-occupied with our digestion and advertisers find we're easy prey if they suggest laxatives and diuretics are health-giving.

If you like the taste of green tea, drink it. It's health-giving qualities can be consigned to the "fairies at the bottom of the garden" file.

They taste nice
otherwise very little compared to smoking, lack of exercise, crap diet, being cold or the threat to world peace that the arab uprising part deux represents......

[woofgang]

well its beneficial if you drink it instead of alcohol....

Green tea is very good for you - I drink green or white tea, without milk but with a sweetener or sugar. It tends (IMO) to be better quality, and thus a bit more expensive - good for cleansing.

Raspberry ketone is a current fad for weight loss - I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole.

I take Green Tea extract (tablets) 1 a day.

Raspberry Ketones?? They have some celebrity endorsement but personally, I would leave them alone.
