Green tea is in the news again. Over the past several months, there have been several articles published touting the possible benefits of drinking green tea.
From Reuters:
A team at the Arizona Cancer Center in Tucson had 118 heavy smokers drink at least four cups a day of both green and black tea and measured a chemical called 8 – OHdG, which the body releases in response to DNA damage like the kind that can cause cancer.
Those who drank decaffeinated green tea for four months had a 31 percent reduction in 8 – OHdG. Those who drank black tea had no reduction.

I got another bill from the local hospital. This one was for Zometa. I’ve had eight treatments so far. I was under the impression that my insurance covered it all, because I hadn’t received a bill for any portion of it. Each infusion is a little under $1,600.00 here. Thank goodness I have insurance, even if it doesn’t cover everything 100%.

I joined the Life Extension Foundation because I’m interested in a lot of the information they publish. I discovered that most of it’s online. Their writeup on neuropathy is exceptional. Read it here.
