Disclaimer: This book recounts one author’s experience with drinking tea to address her cancer diagnosis and post-cancer care. The medical information in this book is provided as an information resource only, and is not to be used, substituted or relied on as a replacement for professional diagnostic or treatment purposes. Although drinking tea has been associated with many health benefits, the chemistry, biological mechanisms and cancer prevention properties of tea are not fully defined. Human cancer prevention trials with green tea polyphenol preparations have shown promising results, but further intervention trials are needed to demonstrate conclusively the cancer-preventive attributes of tea.
