cups of green tea daily were the least likely to develop oral cancer.

five or more cups of green tea daily had a lower risk of developing prostate
cancer, compared to those who drank less than one cup per day

of stomach cancer in women who consumed five or more cups of green tea
per day

breast cancer in women who drank more than three cups of green tea daily

more cups of green tea per day was linked to a decreased risk of pancreatic
cancer

or more cups of green tea daily had a 33% lower risk of developing type 2
diabetes, compared to those who consumed less than one cup per week

consumed one to three cups of green tea daily had a lower risk of heart
attack and stroke, compared to those who drank less than one cup

day. However, it's important to note that some studies did not find any association
between drinking green tea and disease risk, so these effects may vary from
person to person, One thing most studies have found is that green tea drinkers are
in better health than those who do not drink tea at all.
