1.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 10/01/2006 - "We report here for the first time that dietary alpha-TEA delivery significantly inhibited primary tumor growth and dramatically reduced spontaneous metastatic spread to the lung in prophylactic and therapeutic settings. " 03/01/2006 - "Emerging data amassed from various laboratories around the world suggests that green tea, particularly its major polyphenolic constituent (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), possesses remarkable cancer chemopreventive and therapeutic potential against various cancer sites in animal tumor bioassay systems and in some human epidemiologic studies. " 01/01/2007 - "Green Tea Catechins (GTCs) were proven effective at inhibiting cancer growth in several laboratory studies. " 11/01/2003 - "Despite the fact that tea has proved very efficient in affording protection against chemical-induced cancer in animal models of the disease, epidemiological studies do not always support the laboratory findings, so that the value of tea as a human anticarcinogen may be considered as 'not proven'. " 11/15/1993 - "The results of this study suggest that, in addition to its chemopreventive effects against tumor initiation and promotion stages of multistage carcinogenesis, green tea also possesses significant protective effects against tumor progression, specifically tumor progression induced by BPO and 4-NQO."
2.	Breast Neoplasms (Breast Cancer) 09/10/2003 - "While both green tea and soy intake had significant, independent protective effects on breast cancer risk, the benefit of green tea was primarily observed among subjects who were low soy consumers. " 06/01/2009 - "First, to determine the minimal effective treatment dose; and second, to test the efficacy of dietary administration of alpha-TEA in the clinically relevant MMTV-PyMT mouse model of spontaneous breast cancer that more closely resembles human disease. " 11/01/2015 - "These findings show that postdiagnosis exercise and tea intake were associated with improved survival among women with triple-negative breast cancer." 06/01/2005 - "The authors aimed to determine the efficacy of green tea ingestion on the risk of breast cancer development and the risk of breast cancer recurrence. " 09/01/2015 - "The safety of green tea extract supplementation in postmenopausal women at risk for breast cancer: results of the Minnesota Green Tea Trial."
3.	Cardiovascular Diseases (Cardiovascular Disease) 01/01/2013 - "There is increasing evidence that both green and black tea are beneficial for cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention. " 01/01/2013 - "The results of improved lipid profile, significantly reduced values of HCy and ADMA document a beneficial effect of cereal biscuit with selenized onion, curcuma and green tea in prevention of cardiovascular disease (Tab. " 12/01/2006 - "In conclusion, green tea can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in diabetes with a significant improvement in lipid metabolism." 01/01/2012 - "To elucidate whether consumption of two Chinese liquors, tea-flavor liquor (TFL) and traditional Chinese liquor (TCL) have protective effects on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in healthy human subjects. " 01/01/2010 - "These findings may, to some extent, explain the mechanisms underlying the protective effects of drinking tea against cardiovascular disease."
4.	Inflammation 01/01/2011 - "In this study, we investigated the impact of black tea extract (BTE) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced NF-κB signaling in bone marrow derived-macrophages (BMM) and determined the therapeutic efficacy of this extract on colon inflammation. " 01/01/2014 - "According to the classical work of Li Shizhen ( Lǐ Shí Zhēn) of the Ming Dynasty, "tea is cold and lowers the fire." Since fire (inflammation) causes many diseases, could tea be effective in the prevention of many diseases? " 09/01/2015 - "A randomized controlled trial of green tea catechins in protection against ultraviolet radiation-induced cutaneous inflammation." 06/01/2012 - "We review the biological effects of some medicinal fruits and herbs - pomegranate, green tea, cat's claw, devil's claw, ginger, Indian olibaum, turmeric and ananas - in an attempt to understand the pivotal molecular targets involved in inflammation and the joint destruction process and to summarize their toxicities and efficacy for OA management. " 02/01/2005 - "The present observations establish the efficacy of this particular variety of black tea, both in the exudative and proliferative forms and as well in the chronic phase of inflammation."
5.	Body Weight (Weight, Body) 11/01/2001 - "According to traditional Chinese belief, oolong tea is effective in the control of body weight. " 03/01/1990 - "The clearance of TEA was related to body weight (P less than 0.001) but the fractional excretion of TEA declined with gestation age, probably because GFR increased at a greater rate than the rate at which the secretory pathways increase their activity. " 01/01/2003 - "Univariate analysis by conditional logistic regression for males showed statistically significant odds ratios (OR) for heavier workload (OR = 4.661), cumulative alcohol consumption (OR trend per drink-years = 1.015), ALDH2(1/1) (OR = 3.310), consumption of green tea less than 3 or 4 times/week (OR = 2.705), body weight over 60 kg at examination (OR = 0.413), or body mass index of over 25 at examination (OR = 0.208). " 04/01/2011 - "Lee (Rosaceae) are used to prepare tiencha or sweet tea, which is helpful for body weight control by restricting calorie intake in obese patients. " 03/01/2013 - "Results obtained showed that doash tea had no influence on body weight in both the studies. "
