Zhion's Comment: Some tea leaves also contain compounds called Tea
Polyphenols. Tea polyphenols are natural plant antioxidants, which prevent
damage caused by free radicals to DNA and other molecules. Thus, they
demonstrate cancer preventive properties by reducing abnormal cell growth
and inflammation. The purified component, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG),
prevent colon cancer. For more information, please,check National Cancer
