Polyphenols in green tea are all the rage. The health establishment in the United States now endorses drinking a glass of green tea every day because of these new found polyphenols.

Green tea has the same substance that is in vegetables and fruits: catechins. There are four types of catechins with the most powerful being the one that is found in green tea: epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG).

This compound is dubbed the "super antioxidant" because it is more powerful than the popular antioxidants Vitamin E and Vitamin C. This super antioxidant eliminates free radicals, the unstable molecules in the body that are the major cause of both aging and disease, which continually attack the body and leave the body vulnerable to disease.

So how do free radicals cause damage within the human body? They interfere with what is called the biochemical process that takes place within all cells. Free radicals ultimately kill healthy cells by destroying enzymes and other cellular functions. Just as bad, free radicals produce toxic waste. These highly reactive molecules damage not only proteins, but actual DNA as well.

There are different types of free radicals but all are children of reactive oxygen metabolites (ROM). So oxidation inside the body is harmful. Yes, we need oxygen to survive, but because of this need, reactive oxygen metabolites are produced. These free radicals age and destroy our cells. These free radicals have been linked to illness, sickness, aging, heart disease, cancer, and even arthritis.

Without any antioxidants in your body, your cells oxidize and breakdown faster thereby speeding up the aging process. This is why many people who smoke age faster. The free radicals caused by the hundreds of chemicals in cigarettes causes cellular oxidation at an increasing rate. Free radicals also cause cancer which is why people that smoke have a higher level of risk for certain types of cancer. Whether you smoke or not, free radicals cause oxidative damage that makes us age.
