More evidence of green tea’s brain benefits

More evidence that green tea is really, really good for one’s brain:

Green tea catechins may improve reference and working-memory related learning ability, say research from Japan, adding to claims that green tea can help ward off Alzheimer’s.Consumer awareness of the benefits of green tea and green tea extracts continues to rise with growing numbers of studies, from 430 papers in 2000 to almost 1500 in 2003, reporting benefits of the main compounds, catechins.

I’m a big fan of green tea, and I’m becoming an even bigger fan of it as more and more studies prove the anecdotal claims that green tea is beneficial for one’s health.
