Is green tea helpful at flushing toxins from the body?
Answers:
Yes, it does, because of it's high water content. When you urinate, you are eliminating toxins and other wastes from your body. Green tea also contains plenty of antioxidants such as EGCG, as well as polyphenols.
Also, some studies have shown green tea to be stimulating to the metabolism, which can help you lose weight more easily, having positive effects on the five vital organs, especially the heart, etc. Just keep in mind that a lot of these are unsubstantiated claims and have not been completely validated by science.
Also, don't drink excessive amounts, because tea contains caffeine just as coffee and soda do.
Stuff tastes like liquid cardboard. What's the point?
Technically anything liquid that makes you go pee is flushing out your system. But try to stick to water based & caffeine free beverages. Caffeine and alcohol dehydrate you.
tea is mostly water, and water is helpful at flushing toxins from the body, so that means green tea is helpful at flushing toxins from the body..
It's the best, better green tea than coffee.
There is an ancient Chinese proverb that states, "Better to be deprived of food for three days, then tea for one."
According to Chinese legend, an ancient emperor Shen Nong was in the habit of tasting herbs to find those with medicinal value and often poisoned himself. But he finally found a plant that could help drain the toxins from his body, and that plant was: tea.
Green tea is really an unparalleled antioxidant. Decades of research indicate that green tea inhibits the development of undesirable cell colonies.
Fresh tea leaf is unusually rich in powerful antioxidants called polyphenols which may constitute up to 30% of the dry leaf weight. So, when you drink a cup of tea, you're basically drinking a solution of tea polyphenols. In fresh, unfermented tea leaves, polyphenols exist as a series of chemicals called catechins.
Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the most powerful catechin found in tea. One study indicates that EGCG is estimated to be 25-100 times more potent than vitamins C and E. This study also cited that just one cup of green tea has antioxidant effects that are greater than a serving of broccoli, spinach, carrots, or strawberries.
With such extremely high antioxidant activity, it's logical to conclude that green tea is highly beneficial for protecting your body from oxidative damage due to free radicals. Free radicals are highly reactive molecules and fragments of molecules that can damage the body at the cellular level leaving the body susceptible to cancer, heart disease, and many other degenerative diseases.

istory of Green Tea
There is archeological evidence that suggests that tea has been consumed for almost 5000 years, with India and China being two of the first countries to cultivate it. Green tea has been used as traditional medicine in areas such as India, China, Japan and Thailand to help everything from controlling bleeding and helping heal wounds to regulating body temperature, blood sugar and promoting digestion.
The Kissa Yojoki, or Book of Tea, written by Zen priest Eisai in 1191, describes how drinking green tea can have a positive effect on the five vital organs, especially the heart. The book discusses tea's medicinal qualities, which include easing the effects of alcohol, acting as a stimulant, curing blotchiness, quenching thirst, eliminating indigestion, curing beriberi disease, preventing fatigue, and improving urinary and brain function. Part One also explains the shapes of tea plants, tea flowers, and tea leaves, and covers how to grow tea plants and process tea leaves. In Part Two, the book discusses the specific dosage and method required for individual physical ailments.
Unsubstantiated claims
Green tea has been credited with providing a wide variety of health benefits, many of which have not been validated by scientific evidence. These claims and any for which academic citations are currently missing are listed here:

Japanese researchers claim if you drink five cups of green tea a day, you'll burn 70 to 80 extra calories. Dr. Nicholas Perricone , an anti-aging specialist, appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show and told Oprah's viewers they can lose 10 lbs. in 6 weeks drinking green tea instead of coffee. However, the maximum calorie density of stored fat is 3500 calories in a pound thus 75 extra burned calories per day requires 40 weeks to lose 6 lbs. The weight lost might also been due to replacing a high caloric drink such as coffee with cream and sugar with a lower caloric drink such as green tea. The difference might be a few hundred calories per drink if the coffee contained other substances, such as sugar, milk, and dairy creamers.
The major concern with drinking too much green tea is the caffeine it contains. Too much caffeine can cause nausea, insomnia or frequent urination.

green tea is a diuretic, like all teas, which means that it does rid the body of excess water, and washes toxins out with it.
i recommend, however, white tea, while it does the same thing, there is no caffeine in it, and it also provides antioxidants that can help prevent many common cancers and it has other natural stimulants that will give you the same energy you get from the caffeine in white tea.
and it's DELICIOUS.
Green tea has been shown to be an antioxidant, but some studies show it is only helpful in very large quantities. White tea is even better.
Yes it is. I drink green tea every day and it makes me feel great, becuse it helps to flush all the toxins from the not so healthy stuff I eat and drink out of my body...

The health benefits of green tea are attributed to the catechins. These polyphenolic substances are antioxidants. EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) appears to be the most potent antioxidant of all the green tea catechins.

Green tea is the first class among of all Chinese tea, total 8 classes, it is the most natural tea and is only dried with heat and undergoes no fermentation process, it also has the most medical value and very low caffeine..... (copied from the web site)
Here is a photo of how they stir fry Long Jing (the top class of Chinese green tea)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/image:stir_...
The Temperature of brewing water for green tea, according to most accounts, should be around 80 ?C to 85 ?C (176 ?F to 185 ?F); the higher the quality of the leaves, the lower the temperature. Hotter water will burn green-tea leaves, producing a bitter taste (Perhaps that's the reason why some people think it tastes bad).
Tea experts told me - brewing Long Jing green tea in glass wares tastes the best. I was also told to chew and swallow the tea leaves after drinking it over to maximize the intake of catechins. They even gave me a Long Jing tea leaves facial mask recipe!
yes...very
Yes, did Phantom tell you to quit smoking pot?
