Green Tea

Like white tea, green tea is unoxidised and contains low caffeine levels. Most green teas are roasted, a process which gives them a more full bodied flavour than white teas. Green tea is rich in the polyphenol ECGC, a substance that has been found to inhibit the activity of an enzyme that causes cells to mutate.  For this reasons it is being used as the starting point for new anti-cancer drugs.

A joint US-Chinese study carried out in China compared green tea consumption among 133 stomach cancer patients, 166 patients with colonic gastritis and 433 people with no stomach disease. They found that people who drank one to three cups of green tea daily had a 30% lower rate of stomach cancer, whilst those who drank more than three cups had a 61% lower rate (International Journal of Cancer, May 2001).
