Green teacatechins might strengthen metabolic defense against toxins capable of causing cancer, according to researchers at Arizona Cancer Center. The study found that green tea catechin concentrate, equivalent to eight to sixteen cups of tea, boosted the production of a group of enzymes necessary to the bodys defense against cancer-causing chemicals by as much as 80%. It was the first clinical study that showed proof that catechins can increase detoxification enzymes in humans.
