Green tea compound may halt molecular cause of often-fatal condition

I always find it funny how they test Green, Black, White or Oolong Teas separately. All teas (Not herbal infusions) are all from the same plant, Camellia sinensis. The only difference is when they are picked and for black tea they are oxidized.<p>The only thing chemistry I have found is caffeine levels. The old belief was the highest Black and the lowest was White. This has proven to be untrue.<p>Pill form would equal KIDNEY STONES if they contained the leaf. Tea leafs are one of the highest in oxalates (Causes most kidney stones) but tea is low&#x2F;moderate in oxalates.

Keep in mind that you&#x27;d need to drink about 1 gallon of green tea every day (which would cause nausea and pain) to have an increase in the EGCG levels in your blood of less than 60%.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;clincancerres.aacrjournals.org&#x2F;content&#x2F;9&#x2F;9&#x2F;3312.long" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;clincancerres.aacrjournals.org&#x2F;content&#x2F;9&#x2F;9&#x2F;3312.long</a><p>So it seems unlikely that drinking green tea would be a viable treatment.

In my opinion tea is the most underrated hacker drink, at least in Germany. In all companies everybody drinks coffee all day long. If u drink tea, you are an alien. Especially if u prefer loose leaf tea over the the dust in bags from the supermarket, you are a little weird. I hoped the big Club Mate hype could bring some people into the tea camp, but omg even the most of the few people who drink tea doesn&#x27;t know why chamomile tea isn&#x27;t actually a tea...

can we update the title to reflect what the condition actually is?<p>Green tea compound may halt molecular cause of often-fatal multiple myeloma

AL (light chain) amyloidosis is a protein folding disease that causes an accumulation of amyloid protein in the organs, and is usually fatal. This green tea compound, EGCG, seems to transform light chain amyloid, &quot;preventing the misshapen form from replicating and accumulating dangerously&quot;. More information on the disease here: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amyloidosis.org&#x2F;facts&#x2F;al&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amyloidosis.org&#x2F;facts&#x2F;al&#x2F;</a>
