Green Tea Publisher: Kensington Pub Corp (Mass Mark By: Nadine Taylor, et al (Jan 1998) |
A small format 180 page soft cover "cheapie" book written by dietitian Nadine Taylor. This book has a reasonably extensive bibliography, and is written for the general reader. It explains in an easy to understand manner the various types of green tea and how to prepare them. One criticism of this book is that the description of the Chinese green tea categories is outdated. Nevertheless, a useful general introduction to green tea, the book even contains a chapter of green tea "recipes"!

The Green Tea Book: China's Fountain of Youth Publisher: Avery Penguin Putnam By: Lester A. Mitscher, Victoria Dolby (November 1997) |
| Known as China's Fountain of Youth, green tea has been recognized as a powerful healer in preventing cancer and slowing the aging process. Since its first recorded use 4,000 years ago, people have been drinking green tea for its health-preserving and revitalizing power. Lester Mitscher and Victoria Dolby explore the beverage's health claims in The Green Tea Book. Using scientific research, The Green Tea Book examines each benefit, from the prevention of cancer and heart disease to simulating mental clarity and reducing cholesterol levels. Polyphenols, naturally occurring compounds found in green tea, supplement the body's antioxidant levels and are the primary mechanism by which green tea prevents the formation of cancer. In addition to the health benefits, Mitscher and Dolby present the history of green tea as well as guidelines for choosing, brewing, and storage. The Green Tea Book is the complete guide to green tea and will help you understand why it works and how you can use it for both its health-promoting qualities and its great taste. Mitscher and Dolby's main point is that scientific investigations, particularly during the past 10 to 15 years, support the healthful and medicinal value attributed to green tea. Studies specifically corroborating the book's arguments that green tea can help prevent certain types of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and dental caries appear among the 17 pages of references, many of them to topflight scientific and medical journals. That green tea helps mitigate the unpleasant effects of radiation.
