Tea is said to have about 8 to 10 times more antioxidants than what we eat daily in fruits and vegetables. Wow! This makes tea (black, green, white or oolong -- a blend of black and green) a radical cancer fighter!
Studies over the last ten years have shown that ounce for ounce, the catechins or flavonoid compounds with antioxidant properties that are found in GREEN tea are as much as 100 times more potent as an antioxidant than vitamin C and 25 times more potent than vitamin E.
Studies suggest that by drinking tea, one can cut off the blood supply to cancer cells so that they stop growing and multiplying. Green tea has powerful compounds called polyphenols that inhibit cancer cell growth and migration.
