Cancer Prevention Green tea comes out ahead of black tea when it comes to cancer-fighting benefits. It serves as a rich source of four catechins — a family of flavanols partially responsible for the tea’s health benefits. One type of catechin, called epigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG, regulates gene activity in cancer cells, and might fight cancer growth.
