Green tea could reduce “bad” cholesterol, says a study

|

(Reuters) – the green tea taken in capsules or infusion, could be reduced by a few points levels of “bad” cholesterol, according to an American study involving more than a thousand people.

The findings, published in Journal of the American Dietetic Association, showed that green tea recortaba 5 or 6 points levels of total cholesterol and “bad” LDL cholesterol to people taking capsules placebo or other treatments.

Trials assessed that both green tea itself or capsules containing a few compounds in green tea called catechins, which are believed to reduce the absorption of cholesterol in the intestine.

Green infused tea was more efficient that capsules, although the benefits were generally quite small, pointed out the main researcher Olivia Phung, Assistant Professor of Pharmacy at the Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, California.

“If someone is already taking cholesterol medications, must adhere to them and not try to change them for green tea, either in capsules or drunk”, told Reuters Health in an email.

But add green tea to your diet could be a way to further improve data from cholesterol, stated.

The researchers, however, found no solid evidence that green tea reinforce the “good” HDL cholesterol, or reduced triglycerides, or another type of fat in the blood.

The team of Phung pooled the outcomes of 20 clinical trials involving a total of 1,415 adults.

Participants were chosen at random to drink green tea daily, drunk or in capsules, or to be part of a “control group” who took placebo capsules, drank low tea catechin or water
