• Green tea has lots of wonderful antioxidants known as catechins. (Don't you love these names?) Studies have shown that catechins inhibit cancer cell growth and blood flow to tumors, but there's a catch: Green tea's catechins are absorbed far better if the contents of the intestine are slightly acidic. Enter the lemon! One study showed that adding a little citric acid to green tea boosted absorption of catechins by a whopping 500 percent. That's a mighty powerful pucker!
