Drink away Cancer?

Tea continues its ascension toward nutritional sainthood.

After about five weeks, the men had lower levels of molecules that advance the disease. The catechins may block these harmful molecules from being transcribed by your DNA, say the scientists. More research may determine if drinking the tea has similar effects.
