(see previous post - The Proof is in the Pudding re: Red Wine and Smoking)
"The thing about red wine and smoking is also true of tea. breaks down the nicotine. That is why the chinese, even though they smoke 10 times as much as north americans, still have lower cancer rates. In the article you linked, they say at the bottom that the alcohol wasn't the factor......it was the polyphenols (an antioxidant that green tea is very rich in). Alcohol wasn't the factor since the acohol free one worked the same."
So, all you alcoholics, if you prefer to believe otherwise, feel free to forget this latest information. It is your life. Try to be aware of the truth, and do nice things for yourself. That is all.
Cheers,
