So I've read that green tea can help you burn fat because it has catechins and EGCG. To save time and tea packets, let's say I brew a large pot of tea in the morning and later pour myself a cup. If I microwave that cup of tea, does it kill the catechins and EGCG fat burning aspects, rendering the consumption of the tea useless? My only purpose of drinking green tea is to burn fat.

I've heard many wonderful things about the consumption of green tea. In order to experience some of the benefits, how many cups of green tea should someone consume a day? Right now, I drink a cup every once in a while (maybe three time a week), and drink two cups a day when I'm sick or feel a cold coming on to get the extra antioxidants.

I have read so many times that drinking green tea regularly is good for your health. Is this true? Are there any benefits from everyday consumption?
