What it does

EGCG catechins mop up reactive oxygen and support the vessel lining.

Why there is no number here

No lifespan study covers green tea. Rather than invent a figure, we say so. What it does have evidence for is oxidation. Plenty of good food has no mortality data behind it — that does not make it bad, it makes it unmeasured.

What it is made of

How to eat it

No milk — it binds the catechins.
