Description Tea (Camellia sinensis) has been appreciated as a beverage by mankind since 5000 years ago. Due to their untoward effects, general lack of concern towards synthetic
chemical agents in modern medicinal care has featured all through the world during the last two decades. Consequently, an intense global search for plant extracts and their constituents for health care have been come into sight promisingly. Concurrent information from the scientific world revealed that, the dietary practice and life-style take part in imperative roles in determining the risk for the development of a number of major human cancers.
Investigations by scientific communities have shown that polyphenols present in food decrease various types of experimental carcinogenesis. In recent years,
identification of effective chemopreventive polyphenols in diets or dietary supplements for human use are underway. Tea polyphenols exert their potent anticancerous activity and appear to be the ideal agents for chemoprevention.
Sufficient data have been generated for asserting that consumption of green tea has preventive effects especially on occurrence of cancer. Concomitantly, increasing
emphasis has been given on events at the cellular level by green tea per se and its constituents which has revealed their diverse pharmacotherapeutic usefulness, most
importantly protection against oxidative damage.
