the Oncology Nurse Advisor take:

Tea consumption may reduce risk of breast cancer as it increases vascular function. An analysis to evaluate the relationship between tea consumption and alcohol consumption and physical activity and risk of breast cancer revealed that tea drinkers may have a lower risk of developing the disease. The polyphenols, including catechins and gallocatchins, abundant in tea are found to have antioxidant activity and potential antitumor effect. In another study, the flavonoids in black tea were found to have a direct effect on vascular function by helping to prevent injury to the blood vessels.
