Green tea may have another positive feature to add to its resume - that of increasing antibiotic effectiveness, even against superbugs! Green tea gave antibiotics a boost in their bacterial killing capabilities like spinach gave Popeye his super strength. I hope this study wasn't just a fluke! It would be great if green tea really can provide this benefit, especially since some antibiotics are not as capable of getting rid of certain bacteria. This article illustrates the study in more detail.
And over here is a study describing what I've been holding to for years: skipping breakfast = weight gain! The study looked at adolescent boys and girls and found a direct relationship between bypassing breakast and a higher body mass index. Why this is so is not for certain, but researchers surmise that breakfast provides energy, a satisfied tummy, and leads to increased activity levels and less consumption of food later in the day.
So eat that oatmeal; have that omelet, and go ahead and wash them down with a cup of green tea (preferably from Japan, but you know that's just my opionion)!
