so the title goes in my new copy of life extension. there is a battle going on between the FDA and a marketer of green tea. the data supports the claim that green tea, when consumed daily, significanlty reduces the risk of getting cancer. It is in the July 2012 edition so no link yet to post to. But the FDA doesn't like it, as in the studies, what the FDA likes to see are half of the subjects taking green tea and the other half placebo. So because the study wasn't formatted correctly, the FDA doesn't want to allow it. But the courts stepped in, and agreed that the scientific data was valid, regardless if in the format the FDA likes or not, so we can now expect to see these claims on green tea containers here real soon.

talk about an archaic beauacracy! who's interests are being served by not allowing the claim, and therefore the public to know that green tea is a great way to reduce your cancer risk?!?!
