Derived from the leaf of the plant,
Green tea contains substances called polyphenols, which scientists think
contribute to its anti-cancer activity. Laboratory studies of one polyphenol,
catechin epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), show that it may interfere
with several of the processes involved in cell replication, causing
tumor cell death (apoptosis). It also might slow the formation of blood
vessels around tumors. Epigallocatechin (ECG), another polyphenol, stops
leukemia cancer cells from multiplying in laboratory studies. As a proven
antioxidant, green tea may repair cell damage, but whether it can prevent
cancer is uncertain. Tannins like those found in green tea generally
have antibacterial properties, and may reduce absorption and bioavailability
of codeine, atropine, and
iron
supplements.

It is unknown how green tea
might help protect the
heart,
but it reduces LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and increases HDL (“good”) cholesterol.
Scientists also do not know whether removing caffeine from green tea will
remove its possible anti-cancer effects.
