In this study of 87 patients (36 with resected colon cancer and 51 after polypectomy), 31 were supplemented with flavonoids and the other 56 did not receive therapy. The flavonoid mixture consisted of 20 mg/d apigenin and 20 mg/d epigallocatechin-gallat. Subjects were observed for 3-4 years. Among the patients with resected colon cancer, those given flavonoids (n=14) had zero cases of recurrence of cancer and only one adenoma, compared with a 20% recurrence rate of cancer and a 27% adenoma development rate among controls. These results suggest that long term supplementation with flavonoids may dramatically reduce the rate of colon cancer recurrence - even in those with resected colon cancer.

Guess if you are enjoying a cup of tea while chatting on your cell phone, it cancels out the risk. Questions have been raised about whether cell phones increase the risk of brain tumors.

So I avoid those instead and continue to happily enjoy my cell phone without worrying about it. ;-)
