How Do I Use Green Tea To Help Protect Me Against Cancer?

Green Tea Vs Cancer

The major antioxidant in green tea, EGCG, has 20 times more free-radical fighting power than vitamin E and 200 times more than vitamin C. It also inhibits chemicals that tumors need to grow and divide, as well as the COX-2 enzyme, which makes carcinogens more active in the body. Director of medical oncology at New York City's Strang Cancer Prevention Center recommends those wanting an extra edge against developing cancer, drink at least 3 cups of green tea a day. He feels it's best to NOT add milk if you want to get the most antioxidant benefit.
