Anti-Viral Properties of Green Tea
Okay, has anyone found this to be true?A A Green Tea Fights the Flu
A cup of green tea may help prevent or lessen the duration of the flu. In a lab study, published in Antiviral Research, EGCG dramatically inhibited influenza virus replication in cell culture in all the subtypes of influenza virus tested. EGCG appears to suppress viral RNA synthesis by altering the properties of the viral membrane.
