What are the benefits of drinking green tea?
user
The primary reason I drink green tea is because it is delicious, and it's a wonderful and healthy addition to my daily diet.  Green tea is a great source of vitamins and nutrients.  I am particularly fond of antioxidants, and green tea contains many of these, especially EGCG.

EGCG is a group of antioxidant chemicals called catechins.  They have been shown to help reduce cholesterol levels, and also have anti-cancer and anti-diabetes properties.  All this, and it tastes good, too!
