Population Studies Suggest Green Tea Helps Prevent Breast Cancer; Lab Studies Indicate How

Question: What does the body of evidence generated by population studies say about green tea's ability to reduce the risk of developing breast cancer?

Expert Opinion: "Epidemiologic data has suggested that green tea may prevent breast cancer. Studies in our laboratory have provided evidence that green tea extract inhibits breast cancer growth by a direct anti-proliferative effect on the tumor cells, as well as by indirect suppressive effects on the tumor associated endothelial cells."
