It is often asked if tea can prevent cancer but the short answer to that question is unfortunately in the negative. However, many studies give weight to the belief that it certainly helps. Lung, prostate, breast, bladder and other cancers have all been the subject of intense research over the past fifty or so years. Compounds commonly found in tea have favorably influenced many if not all of them.

Numerous studies lend credence to a popular idea that tea can help improve heart health. Heart attack and blood pressure are closely related with high blood pressure increasing the risk of heart attack, as well as contributing to other health problems.
