Green Tea Shuts Down Cancer Causing Molecules
Yet more reasons to drink green tea (although black tea is full of different antioxidants and good for you too).

Researchers found that green tea shuts down a molecule that can cause cancer initiated by tobacco use.
Also, over at Scifiblogmy other blog, I have an item about healthy effects from drinking coffee.
All of these bitter flavinoid-rich plant products, chocolate, coffee, tea, provide a range of antioxidants. The caffeine may not be good for you, but I sure feel better about drinking my coffee and tea and eating chocolate these days (you have to get real semi-sweet chocolate or cocoa -- which I put in my coffee daily-- to get the benefits. Milk chocolate won't do it for you).
