Green Tea and Antibiotics
Green Tea and Antibiotics? YES! Recent research from the Alexandra University in Egypt has produced results showing that consuming green tea, even mild amounts while taking antibiotics greatly increases the antibiotic activity in our bodies.
Green Tea enhances and increases the effectiveness of anti-biotics! In some cases it was shown to increase effectiveness by as much as 100%.
In the instance of superbugs, superbugs being defined as those that resist antibiotics and are difficult to eradicate, the enhanced activity of the antibiotic against the superbug was as much as 20%.
This is more excellent research into the benefits of green tea and how our bodies can benefit. Green Tea has been in the news more and more recently, and this study should shake it up a bit more.
This study is to be presented to the Society for General Microbiology in Edinburgh, Scotland.
