Drinking Green Tea Promotes Eye Health

"Analysis of eye tissues showed beyond a doubt that eye structures absorbed significant amounts of individual catechins. The retina absorbed the highest levels of gallocatechin, while the aqueous humor tended to absorb epigallocatechin. The effects of green tea catechins in reducing harmful oxidative stress in the eye lasted for up to 20 hour"Drinking Green Tea Promotes Eye Health:
