Green tea, along with black and oolong teas, contain polyphenols. Some researchers believe that these antioxidants are unique in preventing cell growth and possibly can prevent cancer. Studies conducted in Asia, where tea drinking is a widespread practice, found limited but moderate to strong evidence that drinking green tea reduced the risk of developing pancreatic and colorectal cancers. Research led by Ann Hsing of the National Cancer Institute in Maryland suggests that green tea lowers the risk for developing gallstones and biliary tract cancers.
