Everything can give you cancer, because your cells fucking mutate.

On a side note, the only common thing that really gives you cancer is the instance of carbon in food or drink, which is usually caused by burning.

Green tea can cause cancer?

I have never heard. But I know of several studies which point to green tea reducing incidence of cancer.

^ lol

he is talking about CHARRED or BLACKENED food.

there is no discussion about whether such foods can cause cancer or not; it is unanimously agreed by the medical community.

If that is true, why is Japan's birth rate declining so rapidly

They also have one of the lowest cancer rates in the world and they drink green tea like it's water, so I'm inclined to believe this is one of the bajillion health related studies that in the end tells us nothing at all.

Why is that hard to believe? I don't think green tea has a huge effect on cancer one way or the other. I'm just saying that if it did have a significant effect on increasing the cancer rate, you would expect the rate of cancer to be much higher in Japan since they consume much more green tea per capita than the US.
