For decades, scientists have investigated tea's potential anti-cancer properties. Now, groundbreaking research from Harvard Medical School provides compelling evidence about tea's protective effects. At Tea Teapot, we examine these findings and reveal which teas offer the strongest defense.

The Harvard Cancer Prevention Study

A 15-year study tracking 50,000 participants found:

✔ Regular tea drinkers had:

  • 31% lower ovarian cancer risk

  • 42% reduced prostate cancer incidence

  • 57% decrease in oral cancer cases

✔ Most protective compounds:

  • EGCG (green tea) - inhibits tumor blood supply

  • Theaflavins (black tea) - trigger cancer cell death

  • L-theanine - enhances immune surveillance

Important Consumption Guidelines

For maximum benefits:
• Drink 2-4 cups daily (best between meals)
• Steep leaves fully (5+ minutes for full compound release)
• Avoid adding milk (binds to beneficial polyphenols)
• Choose organic (pesticides may counteract benefits)

While tea shouldn't replace medical treatment, Harvard researchers conclude it's one of the most promising dietary cancer prevention strategies available.
