I read in the TIME weekly that actually they have found those who drink 2-3 cups of green tea a day keep cancer at bay. This is because it has the same properties as the drug used for cancer patients Methotrexate.
So it is also an antioxidant but it now also has other uses. I think I might go and buy some more.

Green tea is an untioxidant

But in order to avoid any disiase, one needs to be careful in general, not only do 1 spesific thinh Wink

Tomatoes r good too (read: pass the ketchup Wink )

If it has the same properties as methotrexate, what other affects does it have on the body? methotrexate affects several organ systems, not just tumors.

Right it is rich in a compound called epigallocatchin gallate (EGCG). It blocks an enzyme that is a catalyst to cancer growth. It has properties similar to methotrexate, sorry about how I worded it before, as the same as.
Green Tea should not have caffeine in it. If it does then they probably add it in.
