Green tea blasts bones ...

Many of us have heard about advantage of green tea. For example, green hour can promote growing thin. Also, it positively influences health of people with cardiovascular problems. However recently scientific from the USA have found out, that green tea weakens bones. And, though experiments were spent on mice, researchers consider it necessary to check up influence of green tea on growth, a structure and density of an osteal mineral of a skeleton of the person.
In a number of researches it has already been proved, that the extract of green tea has positive influence on diseases of cardiovascular system of adult people, and also protects the mice, suffering adiposity, from adiposity of a liver. During the new experiment spent by scientists from the USA, to mice with adiposity and without in nutrition added a few extract of green tea in following quantities: 0 %, 1 % or 2 %. After the similar diet was applied throughout six weeks, scientists have analysed data about a condition of bones of mice. Their size, a structure and a mineralization was measured. There were, that those animals who received green tea, that additives of an extract with nutrition did not receive weighed less, than. The difference among the mice, initially suffering adiposity was especially notable.
As to density of an osteal mineral of the largest bone of a paw of an animal - a femur this indicator did not depend on body mass. However, most likely, the use of green tea led to reduction of length of a femur, its volume and density of an osteal mineral. The same conclusions have been made by researchers, after studying of influence of green tea on lumbar vertebra. Results of work are published in October number of magazine Journal of Nutrition.
Results of research mean, that green tea can influence health of the person not only is positive, but also is negative: it causes harmful changes in a microstructure of bones and reduces their size at growing mice. While it is obscure, whether in a similar way green tea influences people, or not.
