Green tea and prostate cancer study ---
"Laboratory studies have shown catechins (active ingredient in green tea) inhibit cancer cell growth, motility and invasion, and stimulate cancer cell death. Green tea catechins also prevent and reduce tumor growth in animal models. Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is the most abundant and potent catechin found in green tea responsible for these cancer prevention effects"

Before you go to bed fill a container with cold water throw in as many tea bags as you want.
I use 7 bags for 2 quarts.
That's it. It lasts several days and I don't even remove the bags till the bottle is empty.
