Green tea up to 5 times as healthy when citrus juice added

[Guest guest]

Green tea up to 5 times as healthy when citrus juice addedYou've likely seen the studies that argue green tea is a powerful brew of cancer-fighting antioxidants. But new research shows that although green tea is high in catechins — antioxidants that have been shown to reduce the risk of chronic diseases like cancer and cardiovascular disorders — the amount of these substances that are available for absorption by the body are lower when they're consumed solely in tea.

I'm assuming or hoping that we'll be seeing commericially available natural foods that cleverly combine citrus with Green tea, which retain this 5x the healthfullness, being described here. Or, perhaps, they already exist. Do you know?

thanks
