Green Tea Prevents Deathly Plaque Formation In Parkinson's And Alzheimer's - First Results In The Test Tube And With Cell Models

Bullsh** alert!

"The substance ECGC (Epigallocatechin-3-gallate) from green tea can redirect the deadly process which leads to the accumulation of protein aggregates in Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. EGCG modulates a cascade of protein misfolding in such a way that the formation of deadly plaques is interrupted, and harmless protein structures emerge instead. Researchers of the Max Delbrueck Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) Berlin-Buch, a national research laboratory of the Helmholtz Association in Germany have made this discovery in the test tube and in cell models."

Not that this is true anyway, but note that it is not green tea, it is a substance in it.

This is the kind of bad media outburst exposed here.
