Researchers at the Arizona Cancer Center have established that green tea boosts a person's natural defense system and renders cancer causing toxins and chemicals powerless.  In other words; green tea allows your body to fight cancer - the natural way.

GST enzymes are believed to be crucial to the body's defense against cancer-causing chemicals and other toxins, according to the study's lead investigator, H.-H. Sherry Chow, Ph.D., a research associate professor at the University of Arizona. They modify the cancer-causing molecules that would otherwise damage cellular DNA, thus rendering them inert.

"They actually convert known carcinogens to non-toxic chemicals, and studies have shown a correlation between deficient expression of these enzymes and increased risk of developing some cancers," Chow said.

You will benefit in many ways from drinking a few cups of green tea each day, such as increase one's resistance to infection,reduce effects of arthritis, reduce high blood pressure, lower blood sugar and cholesterol, normalize thyroid hyper function , and inhibit the ulceration and stomach mecosa bleeding induced by aspirin.  

Try keeping a few bags in your purse to use at restaurants or when you are running around all day.  You can always throw a couple bags into a water bottle, let it set for an hour or two and drink it later.  Drinking this cold brew may not be as strong as warm brewed tea, but at least you got some.
