Hello Dr Joe, how do you know if a green tea is decaffeinated...I use Quality Green tea. Is that decaffeinated?

I drink green daily. My blood pressure was 140 before I started, then went down to 128. Then I started taking magnesium for leg cramps. Whent to the doctor for my check up, and it was 120. He asked me "what are you doing?" of course I told him but he looked so dumb found. Lol

Thank you for the video. I will resume drinking green tea. By the way, can you expatiate more about the differences between green tea in its natural state and green tea in its extract form? Is the packaged ones we buy at the store considered to be the extract?

[@cheryltyrell3783]

I would have thought so

[@drjoetvMD]

Green tea in its natural state is your regular green tea that is minimally processed. Green tea extract is a concentrated form of the green tea active ingredient, the epigallocatechin-3-gallate. I will encourage you to watch the video I did on the subject way back in 2018 here kzbin.info/www/bejne/bl6mqWNvgcaebsU Apologies for the not so good audio quality but you'll get the idea. I may need to do a refresher video on the subject sometime

Yes, a flaxseed infused smoothie with some leafy greens and fruits to sweeten it will do just fine

[@garyscott2741]

[@julietkumi2867]

Thanks Doctor for this great video. How can I see the difference between the original one and the decafeinated ? Is it labelled on the packaging?

[@drjoetvMD]

Yes, it's usually written on the pack as Decaf. If decaf is not labelled on the pack, then that packet is the default regular caffeinated variety@@julietkumi2867

They are both good teas. It also depends on what you are after. For high BP, hibiscus tea has an edge over green tea for instance. I find most green teas in tea bags don't look green unless you get matcha tea. Maybe they get oxidised before they get to the consumer
