In a study published in the journal Molecular Nutrition and Food, scientists found that by adding 2-3 teaspoons of citrus fruits (lemon, lime, or grapefruit) into a cup of green tea can increase the stability of catechins (antioxidant prevention of cancer, stroke , and heart disease) in an amount sufficient to digest up to five times.
Cathecins contained in almost all types of tea, but because this component is not stable in non-acidic environments, such as in digestion, which can be absorbed by the body is usually less than 20 percent.
