Which is better for you green tea or white tea?

Answer:
They are equally good. The only difference is that there are just too many MEDIOCRE green tea in the market.Bottled green tea, teabags or decaffeinated green tea is hardly worth it. They contain a fraction of catechins found in loose green tea.The best green tea is made from very young tea shoots. So is white tea.Drinking those tender tea shoots are the key ... they contain the most catechins and theanine.

Hi Linsy. White Tea extract may have prophylactic applications which can help to retard the growth of bacteria which can cause Staphylococcus infections, Steptococcus infections, Pneumonia and Dental Caries. It was also found that White Tea is more effective than Green Tea at inactivating bacterial viruses as well as having an anti-viral effect on human pathogenic viruses.There have been studies carried out which indicate that white tea has an anti-fungal effect on Penicillium Chrysogenum and Saccharomyces Cerervisiae. It was found that in the presence of White Tea extract these were totally inactivated.Scientists have now found that the White Tea extract can protect against the Langerhans cell obliteration. It was found that not only the extract protected skin after exposure to sunlight but also a person's immune system was restored also. It is also suggested that the extract may provide a person with anti-aging benefits.Green tea offers many health benefits. Recent medicalstudies suggest green tea to be of benefit in many areasincluding the following:-Boost the immune system-Reducing levels of cholesterol-Reduces high blood pressure-Lowering of blood sugar-Digestive and respiratory health - tea is antibacterial-Oral hygiene - help to prevent tooth decay.-Acne and other skin conditions.-Arthritis - displays anti-inflammatory properties.You can drink are both teas, are both teas is very good.Jason Homan
