Guest guest Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 Both green tea and black tea have the same total level of antioxidants (called polyphenols or flavenoids). The type of polyphenol differs - green tea has simple flavenoids called catechins, while black tea has more complex flavenoids called theaflavins and thearubigins. But forget the scientific names - just remember that teas of whatever colour are the richest sources of flavenoids - and all flavenoids are believed to provide health benefits. With different types perhaps protecting against different diseases a mixed daily intake of both green and black tea is probably the wisest course.
