Green tea has many qualities but is now being hailed as one of the most promising anti cancer compounds ever found, and it has specifically been proven that green tea and prostate cancer prevention go hand in hand.
Its main antioxidant, known as EGCG, is responsible for this, helping to stop the cancerous cells from duplicating.

This really bears out the incredible benefits of green tea and prostate cancer prevention.
The recommended amount to drink, to gain the benefits is around 5-6 cups per day, without milk or sugar. This can give you quite a high intake of caffeine, especially as decaffeinate is not recommended as the process used to remove it cancels out many of the benefits.

For example green tea is synergetic with gingko biloba and tur
You don't really want to get the benefits as a stand-alone pill as it has been proven to be far more effective to take it in a product that has many ingredients in it that work synergistically with each other.
