Changetheoddswithmatcha.com is a Free Sample Site Available During Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Matcha Source Makes It Easy to Act On Advice of Popular Health Experts

Los Angeles -- Free-Press-Release.com-- Oct 4, 2010 -- Los Angeles, California, October 3, 2010 – This month, America’s most trusted MDs are recommending green tea, especially matcha powdered green tea, as part of anti-cancer and anti-aging diet. But today matcha tea is relatively unfamiliar in the US, hard to find locally and somewhat curious to newcomers. To make the connection between health experts and would-be matcha tea drinkers, Matcha Source has launched changetheoddswithmatcha.com, a free sample site targeted to first-time drinkers. With this campaign, Matcha Source is making it easy for newcomers to act on the good advice offered by popular medical personalities such as Dr. David Servan-Schreiber M.D., Dr. Mehmet Oz M.D., Dr. Robert Arnot M.D. and others.

“At Matcha Source, we get so many phone calls from people who heard about matcha’s cancer-fighting properties, but who are unsure about how to prepare it, or what it might taste like.” Says Alissa White, owner and founder of Matcha Source. “The Change-The-Odds site functions as a gateway option for health conscious consumers who want to experience matcha’s unique flavor and nutritional profile before committing to the cost of premium green tea from Japan.”

At matchasource.com and changetheoddswithmatcha.com, users can gift a free sample of Organic Morning Matcha to a friend, or to themselves. No purchase required. Recipients receive a 5g sample of Organic Morning Matcha, good for two servings, along with a beautifully illustrated how-to guide with recipes and a coupon to save 10% on a first order.

Rich in EGCg, a renowned cancer-fighting catechin (class of antioxidant) found only in green tea, matcha tea delivers exponentially more EGCg per serving than regular brewed green tea. Matcha is whole leaf tea, stone ground into a fine powder. When you ingest matcha you ingest the whole leaf and receive 100% of its nutritional benefit. Unlike the traditional teas to which most Americans are accustomed, matcha tea is traditionally whisked with water to create a frothy beverage, with a richly complex flavor. Matcha green tea can also be enjoyed as an ingredient in lattes, smoothies and baked goods.

Dr. Kristi Funk M.D., founder of the Pink Lotus Breast Center in Beverly Hills, who has appeared with Sheryl Crowe, a breast cancer survivor, on The Dr. Oz Show, says, “Three cups of green tea a day can prevent breast cancer by as much as 50% because of its high EGCG antioxidant content.”

In addition to many disease-fighting and anti-aging benefits found in matcha green tea’s potent antioxidants, it is also known as a natural mood enhancer. Matcha tea contains L-theanine, an amino acid, known to relax the mind, which when combined with caffeine results in a “calm alertness” sustained over several hours. Part of the lore of matcha tea is that Buddhist monks used it to aid in meditation. Matcha tea is high in fiber, regulates blood sugar levels and facilitates weight loss. It is also high in chlorophyll and known for its detoxifying properties.

“Breast cancer runs in my family,” says White. “We grew up on diet soda and red meat. Now we know better and can be proactive about our health. But knowing and reading about good nutrition is not enough. To change the odds, you have to actually drink the tea. And at Matcha Source we want to make it easy to try.”

Matcha Source is an online retailer that makes premium matcha tea from Japan easily accessible to American consumers. Its website, www.matchasource.com, offers information on the history and production of matcha and recipes for enjoying matcha.
