Green Tea May Improve Dental Health

The Journal of Periodontology recently published a study that found that the routine intake of green tea may promote the health of teeth and gums.
The author of the study, Dr. Yoshihiro Shimazaki of Kyushu University in Japan examined 940 men and found those who drank green tea have significantly better dental health. The researchers were able to conclude that for every cup of green tea consumed there was a decrease in the various clinical signs of periodontal disease.
There are so many factors that have an impact on our overall health. This study demonstrates again that the foods we eat can play a significant role in our well being.
