POWERFUL ANTIOXIDANTS
Tea contains high levels of specific organic compounds known as polyphenols, which are very potent antioxidants. Antioxidants play an important role in maintaining health by preventing free radicals (unstable molecules) from causing damage to cells which can lead to disease, aging, and cancer. Similar to the way oxidation causes cars to rust, oxidative stress on a cellular level can damage DNA and has been linked to the onset of illnesses such as cancer and heart disease. Antioxidants prevent free radicals, the unstable molecules that result from oxidation, from damaging cells.
Researchers have discovered that green tea contains 200 times the antioxidant levels as vitamin E, making it 25 times more effective at neutralizing free radicals. Tea%uFFFDs antioxidant capacity may also be 100 times more effective than vitamin C. In fact, tea appears to contain some of the most potent disease-fighting substances found in food.

The American Cancer Society suggests that two thirds of cancers can be prevented by improving diet and stopping unhealthy lifestyle habits. Therefore, adding tea to your daily routine is a simple and pleasurable way to improve your diet. . . and could potentially add years to your life.

Many factors influence disease such as smoking, heredity, poor diet, lack of exercise, and stress.
