An antioxidant found in green tea may help restore damaged brain cells, claims a recent Israeli study
Researchers gave mice, which were induced with Parkinson's disease, EGCG (epigallocatchein gallate)--about the equivalent of what is in two to four cups of green tea a day. They found that the EGCG entered the brain's neurons to resuscitate dying cells and prevent further deterioration.
Israeli investigators are hopeful that green tea may help people suffering from neurological disorders, such as dementia, Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.
