A study to examine the antioxidant properties of green tea extract had some surprising results..
Green tea extract only affects markers of oxidative status postprandially: lasting antioxidant effect of flavonoid-free diet.
There was a strictly controlled diet with no fruits or vegetables to deplete flavonoids and catechins, that are present in fruits and vegetables and touted for their antioxidant properties.
This was so the effect of the GTE as an antioxidant could be isolated..
This study was made in 2002.
Seems like no one was in a big hurry to follow up on this.

Since no long-term effects of GTE were observed, the study essentially served as a fruit and vegetables depletion study. The overall effect of the 10-week period without dietary fruits and vegetables was a decrease in oxidative damage to DNA, blood proteins, and plasma lipids, concomitantly with marked changes in antioxidative defence. |
