Alkylamines and Green Tea

[Guest guest]

Blessings Keyleun,

 

There are alkylamines indeed in green teas! An excerpt from some published

research from Harvard Medical School:

 

He and his colleagues now report that human gamma-delta T cells proliferate

and release an immune signal called interleukin 2 when they're exposed to

alkylamines, a class of molecules secreted by bacteria. Alkylamines from

green and black tea, red and white wine, and apples also stimulate the T

cells. As a result, the investigators have just launched a study in people to

examine whether drinking tea stimulates the activity of the gamma-delta T

cells and bolsters overall immunity.

 

Drink up!
