Is there a negative side to green tea dieting?

It has been said the green tea increases health benefits but scientific proof of its health benefits are still mixed. In an article in the Archives of Internal Medicine, American researchers collaborated with their Chinese counterparts to discuss the good effects of green tea on cholesterol levels.
Out of 200 men and women who recently participated in a case study using green tea. Out of the 50% of the people who implemented green tea in there diet, they recorded losing 15% of their cholesterol levels after only 12 weeks of using green tea in there diets. Researchers told all participants in this case study that nothing in there daily lives needed to be changed. All they had to do was just drink the green tea as directed.
Although the researchers never explained how green tea may influence cholesterol levels. Earlier studies have shown that certain compounds in green tea play a key role in reducing cholesterol absorbed by the body which results in, increasing the quantity of cholesterol excreted, and thus keeping cholesterol from being stored.
Once again, after further testing was done on the first group of participants researchers are stating that the green tea diet had no effect on cholesterol levels, that the participants using green tea lost cholesterol some other way.
The medical community really frustrates me at times. It seems that anything organic does not get the support it should get. Here is an example of what I am talking about.
A few years back my oldest got the worse case of chicken pox known to man. He got in everywhere and there was not a single square inch of him that didn’t have a pox on it. W ended up taking him to the hospital 3 times to try and get him something to help with his pain but the doctors kept saying, there was nothing they could do. Basically, let him suffer until it passes.
I finally took it upon myself to try and find an Aloe Vera plant to try the extract from that. Once I got a hold of one and tried it guess what happened. It worked like a charm and my sons itching stopped with in 15 minutes of me applying the extract.
My youngest son got the chicken pox when he was 6 months old. We had to take him to the hospital just to be safe (6 months old is a bad age to get the chicken pox) and when we were there I told the nurse what we got to work with our oldest boy. She told us she knew that all ready. I asked why no one would tell us and her response was “we are not permitted to recommend organic forms of medicine” I was like…..ok, just let the kid suffer then?
So you can clearly see that the opinion of some doctors is swayed by the opinion of the pharmaceutical companies. I guess if it is not supported by the big pharmaceutical companies then it can’t be good for you right?
