Green Tea, A Weapon against Type 2 Diabetes

According to one study, animals given the green-tea based antioxidant, EGCG, had a 50% lower blood sugar after eating starch than the animals that didn't get the EGCG but ate the same amount of starch.

This aligns with other studies over the years that green tea and oolong tea can help to control the blood sugar response from a meal due to their unique antioxidants.  So if you're eating a meal that contains carbohydrates, you can protect yourself from the blood sugar spike with a cup or two of green tea along with your meal.
