Green Tea reduces the risk of lung cancer (meta-analysis 2009)

They searched for relevant studies published up to November 2008. Twenty-two studies were included that evaluated the consumption of either or both teas and the risk of lung cancer. Those who consumed the most green tea had a 22% decreased risk of developing lung cancer vs. those who rarely or never consumed it. Black tea offered no protection. The study is published in the January 5th, 2009 issue of the journal Lung Cancer.
