There most certainly is a lot of green matcha tea about these days.  There are green tea bags, green iced tea, green tea cakes, green tea supplements and loads of words finishing in exclamation points about the pros of green matcha tea.  Green matcha tea isn’t the elixir of youth, but it truly is a nutritious and refreshing refreshment option.  It may perhaps taste weird at first, but you quickly get accustomed to the flavour.

Scientists suggest that our sugar addiction can contribute to our bodies changing much faster than they should. Some specialists have gone so far as to suggest that “cross-linking” occurs when sugar molecules link up to protein molecules, causing the attached molecules to change their function.
