Furthermore, studies conducted before the clinical onset of breast cancer found that increased green tea consumption was associated with improved prognosis in stage I and II breast cancers, as well as decreased numbers of axillary lymph node metastases in premenopausal women, suggesting significant chemopreventative potential [ 20].
Other research has found that increased green-tea consumption appears to protect against other forms of cancer, too, including those of the stomach, colon, lung and skin.
In a 7-year study on 472 patients with I-III stages of breast cancer it was shown that increased consumption of green tea, 4 5 cups per day, was associated with decreased numbers of axillary lymph node metastases in the group of premenopausal patients with stages I and II and an increased expression of progesterone and estrogen receptors among postmenopausal ones.
More recently, an intervention study (n = 10) by Jin et al. [ 75] confirmed an overall tendency for the proportion of bifidobacteria to increase because of green tea consumption, even though there were interindividual differences in the Bifidobacterium species.
The results, using either type of control series, were consistent with our previous finding that increasing the quantity of green tea consumption reduces the risk of breast cancer in Chinese women [ 19], as well as the results from four studies pooled in a meta-analysis, which reported a reduced risk of breast cancer for highest versus non/lowest intake of green tea [ 28].

Green tea increases the pressure in your eye within 30 minutes of drinking it, and the effects can last beyond an hour and a half of drinking the tea.
An easy method for green and low-temperature (40 °C) reduction of graphene oxide (GO) by increasing the antioxidant activity of green tea polyphenols (GTPs) in the presence of iron was developed.
