Green Tea Could Prevent Cancer.

I just read an article online at yahoo news.

It said drinking 5 or more cups of green tea a day could prevent certain types of cancer. This is based on research that was presented in the American Journal of Epidemiology, September 15, 2009

Too bad, I drink about 5 cups of coffee a day. I wonder what kind of benefits I’m getting from it? (said sarcastically) because I’m afraid coffee isn’t good for my health, but I enjoy it so much. I feel like coffee calms me down. I don’t get hyper on caffeine. I’ll drink a cup or two on Saturday morning and then go back to sleep for a few hours.

I do enjoy diet Snapple peach tea (make with green and black leaves) and their diet peach tea made with white tea leaves. I’ll only have one of them every so often.

My sister, a phlebotomist, had worked for an urologist for the last 5-years. She told me that drinking coffee and tea were extremely bad from an urologist perspective. These drinks could be bad for the kidneys.

Here’s the yahoo news source:
