Dr. Perricone's Good Foods - Protein - Grains and Legumes - Fruits and Vegetables - Nuts and Seeds - Green Tea

Dr. Perricone's 'Good' Foods is a list of foods that Dr. Perricone recommends for a healthy diet.  Green tea is one of the beverages that Dr. Perricone recommends as a beverage along with his list of good foods.

I absolutely love a high quality Japanese Sencha as a daily green tea beverage.  You may also be interested in Oprah Green Tea and Dr. Perricone - Green Tea Diet and Weight Loss.
