</STRONG>Consumption of green tea has been associated with a <STRONG>reduced risk for type 2 diabetes</STRONG>,  and people who drink green tea regularly are less likely to develop  diabetes. The results of a study published in the August 2004 issue of  BMC Pharmacology, stated that green tea <STRONG>promoted glucose metabolism</STRONG> in the healthy human participants, providing evidence that green tea has an anti-diabetic effect.</LI></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.elements4health.com/green-tea.html"><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><STRONG>Skin.</STRONG> 
It has been suggested that a polyphenolic fraction  from green tea may prevent UV radiation-induced skin cancer. There is  however insufficient scientific research to back this theory up, and  further studies are needed. In a double blind trial of green tea  extracts in its role to treat aging skin, participants treated with a  combination regimen of topical and oral green tea showed <STRONG>improvement in elastic tissue</STRONG> content.</LI></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.elements4health.com/green-tea.html"><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><STRONG>Tooth Decay.</STRONG>
