Lowers total cholesterol and lowers bad cholesterol: Green tea lowers total cholesterol up to 11% for people with high cholesterol and bad (LDL) cholesterol up to 16%.
Prevents artery blockages: EGCG from green tea prevents 73% of new blockages (atherosclerosis) from bad (LDL) cholesterol.
Stops cholesterol from going “bad”: Green tea antioxidants help prevent damage that creates “bad” cholesterol.
Eliminates cholesterol: Green tea increases elimination of cholesterol in bile.
Protects your liver: Green tea protects your liver from damage from high cholesterol.
How much green tea?
Most research on green tea and cholesterol show that benefits become most noticeable with daily intake of 5 cups daily.
Benefits seem to level off at 10 cups daily (Tokunaga, 2002).
For people who find drinking 5 cups of green tea daily inconvenient, benefits are the same with green tea extract from supplements.
