Tips On How To Check And Look At Green Tea Reviews

May 22nd, 2010

Without a doubt, there are far too many green tea products flooding the markets these days. It seems that one new product is being launched every few weeks. The real problem is: how do you sort out the genuinely healthful ones from the crappy products? Two of the best ways to gauge exactly what you might be consuming is to check product labels and sort through its green tea review.

Although there is really no substitute for freshly plucked young tea leaves, there are a fair number of products that you can buy that will give you the same — or almost the same benefits. What you need to look for are:

1.    A very short list of ingredients on the product label. Surprisingly enough, some green tea leaves products are comprised only of 2% to 57% green tea. The rest are additives, flavor enhancing products and preservatives. Some “green” tea products may also be comprised mostly of other varieties of dried tea or dried plant materials. Although you can still glean the healthful benefits of green tea with these products, this might be outweighed by harmful effects of consuming too much processed ingredients regularly. So it is essential that you scrutinize product labels with a fine-toothed comb. What you need to find is a very short list of ingredients that contains 92% to 100% green tea.

2.    Check out a green tea review or two from websites that are not sponsored by the product manufacturers, celebrity endorsers or marketers. Obviously, you are very unlikely to get a fair or unbiased review from these people. What you need to look for are independent sites or health forums were these said items are being given impartial ratings by people who have already tried the products.

3.    Be on the lookout for the green tea review that does not post negative comments. Sometimes, there is simply no way of knowing if the articles are indeed commissioned by product manufacturers. “Independent” marketers may be paid to promote green tree products surreptitiously. If you really want to know the score always look for reviews that post both the pros and cons of the product.
