330: Coffee or green tea, which one actually deserves a permanent spot in your morning routine? In today’s Bite of Knowledge, I’m breaking down the caffeine debate we all secretly have with ourselves.

We’ll talk antioxidants, L theanine, blood sugar, brown fat, and even why a simple paper filter can make a difference for your cholesterol.
