Green tea vs black teaGreen tea vs black tea - which of the two is a better weapon against several diseases and conditions? Black tea, although without a doubt considered a pleasing beverage and a soothing tonic, it is not as wide-ranging and powerful as green tea. Green tea has amazing health benefits mostly from catechins, which are mostly oxidized into theaflavins and thearubigens during the manufacture of black tea. Theaflavins and thearubigens having their own health benefits cannot compare with the wide-ranging effects of green tea's catechins. A cup of black tea contains about 5-10 mg of catechins while a cup of green tea contains more than eight times that amount, or 40-90 mg. Catechin prevents the occurence of diseases and speeds up healing. EGCG catechin has found to have the highest level of healing ability.
