Sin Hang Lee, M.D., the cancer pathologist and founder of TeaForHealth, has requested the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) add stomach cancer to the qualified health claim recently awarded to him by the FDA linking green tea to the reduction of the risk of breast and prostate cancer. According to Dr. Lees press releases, the requested change to the green tea qualified health claim is based on the Oct. 3, 2005, Nobel committee award to Drs. Barry Marshall and Robin Warren of Australia of the 2005 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) as a causative agent for gastritis and stomach ulcer, two conditions that may lead to stomach cancer. The request letter is posted at http://www.teaforhealth.com/.
