Green Tea Benefit - Prevent Tooth Decay
Several days ago, I wrote an article to explain how black tee fights cavities. Green tea also has similar function. It prevents tooth decay.
More than 300 species of bacteria adhere to tooth surfaces. They produce acid which lead to cavities. Green tea contain catechines. It has been proved to inhbit the growth of bacteria. The reduction of the bacterial cell membrane fluidity leads to the anti-plaque activity.
However, for tooth health, which is better, green tea or black tea? I didn’t get the answer yet. If someone got it, please leave a comment here.

In regards to teeth, I would recommend gree tea (or white). Black teas are oxidized in the processing and this makes them acidic. Green and white teas are not and are actually alkaline. I’m not sure if this makes any difference in regards to tooth decay but since acidity is one of the main causes, I’d imagine driking more alkaline tea would be better.
