Beneficial ingredients in green tea penetrate into the tissues of the eye and may help protect against glaucoma and other eye diseases, says a new study.
Researchers analyzed eye tissue from rats that drank green tea and found that the lens, retina and other tissues absorbed significant amounts of green tea catechins, which are antioxidants believed to protect the eye. Catechins include vitamin C, vitamin E, lutein and zeaxanthin.
For generations there has been a debate on what is the proper diet for man. Some believe we are naturally meat-eaters while others think we were meant to be vegetarians. Those in support of vegetarianism have supported their argument by suggesting the differences between herbivorous (plant eaters) and carnivorous (meat eaters) and claim man is more similar to the plant eaters.
