SO WHAT'S GREEN TEA DOING?

You may have heard that green tea is a cancer fighter. Now we know why. A study reported at the American Society for Cell Biology meeting found there is a compound in green tea called EGCG, which is a powerful antioxidant. What is does is inhibit an enzyme that cancer cells need to grow. This caused those cells to self-destruct. (Not bad for some tea). (Black tea also has EGCG but at a lower concentration).

So raise your cups up and happy sipping
