Green Tea and the health benefits being attributed to it are constantly in the news. Some claims are yet unproven, but here’s one that appears to have validity.

The polyphenols in Green Tea have been studied for their protective effects against some cancers. Green Tea contains antioxidants that have been shown to protect against cell damage.

A study at the University of Southern California suggests that drinking Green Tea could lower a woman’s risk of breast cancer. According to researchers, Green Tea drinkers had a lower blood estrogen level. High blood estrogen levels have been linked to breast cancer.

Drinking Black Tea did not have the same estrogen lowering effects.
