“Green, black and white teas are all rich in polyphenols – compounds from plants that have strong anti-inflammatory effects,” explains the Arthritis Foundation (AF).
According to the AF, you’ll find the highest polyphenol levels in Green and white teas.
Green tea is generally viewed as the most beneficial of all because its active ingredient is a polyphenol known as epigallocatechin 3-gallate (EGCG).
EGCG has been shown to be as much as 100 times stronger in antioxidant activity than vitamins C and E.
