    AbstractPolyphenolic compounds in fruits and vegetables have been associated with lower risk of some diseases, including cancer.

This review discusses the cancer chemopreventive effects associated with green tea and the molecular mechanisms that underlie the broad anticarcinogenic effect of polyphenols in green tea.
