Long-term drinking of green tea can lower blood sugar, blood lipids, and blood pressure, thereby preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The medical research team of Showa University in Japan put 10,000 highly toxic E. coli 0-157 in 1 ml of tea polyphenol solution diluted to 1/20 of the concentration of ordinary tea water, and all the bacteria died after five hours.
