The chief antioxidant is believed to be a compound known as epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG appears to have ability to suppress many different elements of the cancer-forming process.

It's good stuff.
I can just about force one cup a day down. It's like medicine - I have to keep telling myself that old wives tale that the worse the medicine tastes (and green tea does taste pretty honky) the better it is for you.
