For all you guys in DU- Drink more green tea

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"

Frequent ejaculation has also been shown to have an effect on chances of developing prostate cancer.

use hot water! Use COLD water to brew green tea. Hard to believe but true.

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.

you usually would.

If you drink green tea, make sure there's a bathroom nearby, because you're going to be running to it all day long.

and she's in and out of the bathroom all day long. We've had to institute a hard-and-fast "No Boba" rule before any car trips.

Green Tea May Strengthen Your Teeth:
http://news.discovery.com/human/health/green-tea-teeth-dental.htm

THE GIST:

- People aged 40-64 who drank one cup of green tea a day were less likely to lose teeth.

- Drinking unsweetened coffee had no effect on keeping teeth.

- Antimicrobial molecules called catechins may account for green tea's benefits.
