One of the best studied bioactives in green tea is the polyphenol called EGCG (epigallocatechin-3-gallate). Green tea has sixteen times the level of EGCG compared to black tea. EGCG reduces harmful angiogenesis and cancer growth, lowers blood pressure, improves blood lipids, restores homeostasis of immune cells, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Green tea technically covers a wide range of beverages, from sencha to jasmine to oolong tea. Drinking two to three cups of green tea a day is associated with a 44% reduced risk of developing colon cancer. Chamomile tea is a popular herbal tea made with the dried petals of the chamomile flower. Chamomile contains bioactives like apigenin, caffeic acid, and chlorogenic acid that have antiangiogenic activity. [2019] - William W Li

Red meat is strongly associated with cancer in the esophagus itself, whereas poultry is more strongly associated with cancer down around the stomach-esophagus border. The most protective foods for cancer at the esophagus-stomach border appear to be red, orange, and dark-green leafy vegetables, berries, apples, and citrus fruits. In a randomized clinical trial of powdered strawberries in patients with precancerous lesions in their esophagus, subjects ate 1-2 ounces of freeze-dried strawberries every day for 6 months--that's the daily equivalent of about a pound of fresh strawberries. The progression of the disease was reversed in about 80% of the patients in the high-dose strawberry group. [2015] - Michael Greger
