Green tea is more beneficial to the sugar and lemon - study


Adding ascorbic acid and sugar in green tea helps the body absorb the beneficial compounds in the drink, U.S. researchers have found

Specialists have determined that ascorbic acid increases the absorbability of catechins in tea - a class of polyphenols that have antioxidant properties and struggling with heart disease, cancer, diabetes, reducing the risk of stroke and other health problems. Catechins are also found in cocoa and grapes.

Adding ascorbic acid and sucrose in green tea three times increases the absorption of beneficial catechins in the blood. Researchers are advised to add a green tea lemon juice or to choose other drinks that contain lots of vitamin C, reports the AMI-TASS reported.

Laboratory tests were aimed at monitoring the solubility, absorption and digestive stability of polyphenols. Dr. Mario Ferutstsi adapted digestive model of intestinal cells of the human body - this new model can more effectively predict the effect of the product formula.

According to Dr. Ferutstsi, the new model would also reduce the use of animals for scientific testing. In what doctors are planning to conduct clinical trials of green tea in combination with sugar and ascorbic acid in humans.
