Green Tea has been used for centuries in the Far East. Asian diets regularly include 3-5 cups of green tea per day. Research in Asia shows a dietary link to reduced risk to cancers of the breast, prostate, bladder, colon, stomach, pancreas, and esophagus. The American Institute for Cancer research is still finding more cancer fighting potential for consumption of green tea. Recently, green tea consumption has been linked to a reduction in risk for heart disease, neurological disorders, Parkinson's Alzheimer's and other age-related diseases.

The active substance in green tea is Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg), which targets a protein present at high levels in many cancer cells. The EGCg in green tea binds to this protein, helping to prevent cancerous cell changes.

Epigallocatechin gallate is the one most abundant catechins in tea.

Catechins are bioflavanoids, polyphenols, and powerful antioxidants. The best source of catechins is white tea with green tea coming close. Catechins are linked to evidence of fighting tumors as well as enhancing immune system function, due to their polyphenol antioxidant character. EGCg as an antioxidant is about 25-100 times more potent than vitamins C and E.†
