Green Tea and Prostate Cancer

The battle continues. The American Association For Cancer Research recently released an article that talks about green tea helping to prevent prostate cancer. I realize that the FDA has said that they haven't found sufficient evidence that Green Tea prevents cancer, but if you do a bit of research on your own you will find that there is plenty of evidence that "suggests" that Green Tea can help prevent cancer. I understand that making false claims is wrong and that is why they must say that it is possible that Green Tea helps to prevent cancer and other diseases, but it is not 100% confirmed. What is 100% confirmed, however, is that drinking Green Tea is very very very healthy and there is really no reason or situation that drinking the beverage is harmful. So whether you want to believe the articles and studies or not, the fact is DRINK GREEN TEA because it might help your body and definitely won't hurt it!!

Hi,

Just thought you might be interested in Tracing Tea - an expedition from Calcutta to London researching the history and culture of tea. See www.tracingtea.org for more details.

I drink green tea before and during high intensity workouts and strength training and I must say it does make a difference in my opinion. Working out just feels way easier when I do =)... I frikkin love green tea I took a concentrated green tea supplement a year ago but I think a couple cups a day works fine=)
