How was it discovered?


The health benefits of green tea is widely know today. But how it became known in public is not so well known.

It was started when the researchers in Japan working on stomach cancer (which was one of the leading causes of death among Japanese at the time) noticed the significant low numbers of cancer patients in the area of Shizuoka where famous for the green tea production.
After decades of more researchs and lab tests following that lead, it was confirmed that a polyphenol antioxidant in green tea does help cancer prevention.
