Green Tea has long been accepted as being beneficial to health but new research has unearthed even more good news regarding this ancient beverage.
Scientists have confirmed that the powerful antioxidant and disease-fighting properties found in green tea also penetrate into tissues of the eye. This new report documents how the lens, retina, and other eye tissues absorb these substances. This, of course, raises the possibility that green tea may protect against certain eye diseases.
A team from the Chinese University of Hong Kong confirmed that the antioxidants found in green tea actually passed from the stomach into the tissues of the eye, thus reducing harmful oxidative stress in the eye for up to 20 hours.
