Green and Black Tea contain certain antioxidants
known as polyphenols (catechins) which appear to prevent Cancer cells from
dividing. Green tea is best, followed by our more common black tea. Herbal teas
do not show this benefit. Various Reports state that the polyphenols that are abundant in
green tea, red wine and olive oil, may protect against various types of Cancer.
Dry green tea leaves, which are about 40% polyphenols by weight, may also reduce
the risk of Cancer of the stomach, lung, colon, rectum, liver and pancreas. So drink up! ~ Chef ~
