More proof that nutritional science is a shit tier field
antioxidants are a meme
you need oxidative bursts for your immune system to function properly and for cell-cell signaling

>>14268163
Literally every American, retard. Don’t try to start some reddit-tier “le sip boys” shit over this.

you know where tea originated, right?

I've heard "contains antioxidants" and "no antioxidants" both as selling points for drinks. Which one is supposed to be healthy?

>>14268301
an antioxidant is something that helps your body get rid of toxins faster

>Who knew that electric kettles were a waste of money all along...
Bet your piss poor weak ass electricity couldn't even power a kettle.
I'll use my kettle AND my microwave, fag.

>>14268301
I've never seen "no antioxidants" as a selling point.
The big idea behind antioxidants is they shed electrons, which neutralize "free radicals" in the body. Free radicals are unstable and bump around inside you reacting to just about every chemical in your body and causing cell damage. This cell damage is the butterfly wing from which cancer grows.

>I can't read a paper
Here's a quote direct from the eight-year-old paper OP is trying to bait with:
>However, it should be noted that green tea prepared in this fashion will be strong because ofthe high concentration of the main tea components, especially the catechins. It may be more bitter and astringent than when prepared as suggested by the manufacturers. Therefore, the taste may not be favourable to many green tea drinkers and the addition of other flavours may be required such as lemon, jasmine, pear and apple, varieties that are already available on the market.

>>14268342
Oh, also worth noting that the actual method used is
>boil water in a kettle
>Pour it into a mug with a teabag
>Leave it to steep for 30 seconds
>Microwave for 1 minute
So you still need a kettle

>>14268378
Hold the fuck on. You microwave the tea bag!?
You can fuck off with that shit
