While the antioxidant qualities of green tea has been known for some time, there is now research that shows that green tea may actually prevent lung cancer.
A researcher at the University of California at Los Angeles has found that polyphenols in green tea activates a chemical reaction in a lung cancer cell that may actually prevent cancer.
In Japan, where tea is drank several times a day cancer mortality statistics on Japanese people indicate that the death rate from cancer is significantly lower, for both men and women.
