Actually, the polyphenols like EGCG (a compount found in green tea) are the type of phenols that have been linked to disease prevention.
In particular, EGCG has been shown to slow down angiogenesis, a process of vascular growth that helps tumors to keep proliferating.

These are the newest articles about the subject.

(-)-Epigallocatechin gallate downregulates EGF receptor via phosphorylation at Ser1046/1047 by p38 MAP kinase in colon cancer cells.

Adachi S, Shimizu M, Shirakami Y, Yamauchi J, Natsume H, Matsushima-Nishiwaki R, To S, Weinstein IB, Moriwaki H, Kozawa O.

Carcinogenesis. 2009 Jul 3. ahead of print

Promoter Demethylation of WIF-1 by Epigallocatechin-3-gallate in Lung Cancer Cells.

Gao Z, Xu Z, Hung MS, Lin YC, Wang T, Gong M, Zhi X, Jablon DM, You L.

And many more
Asker's Rating:
• Polyphenols don't cure cancer, they slow cancer by reducing blood and food flow to the tumors.
