"Women in China who drink 2 to 3 cups of tea daily over many years have a reduced rate of cancers of the digestive system, according to a study by researchers at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville, Tennessee. Researchers in the division of Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center, led by Sarah Nechuta, PhD, MPH, surveyed participants in the Shanghai Women's Health Study, a population-based prospective cohort study of approximately 75,000 middle-aged and older Chinese women who were recruited from 1996 to 2000."
