Actually it's not a misleading statement because they were saying that the AhR receptor is something that is responsible for making the cells turn cancerous, so by inhibiting that, you inhibit cancer.
There was a professor Thomas Gasiewicz who was a researcher for the study paper, said that there was a different way that green tea worked to exert it's 'anti-cancer' properties, so even he thought green tea was anti-cancerous. I'm sure there must be contact details on the research paper, you could contact him yourself and ask him!
Writing an article does not mean copying a study, word for word, as that would be breach of copyright and not my own work. I take what the study is saying, and write it into layman's terms.
Thank you for pointing out about the university. As I live in the UK I assumed it was here as I used to live in Rochester, but I will endevour to change that.
Just because you are a 'bio major' and others may not be, doesn't mean they have no brains. I think a lot of scientists, in training or otherwise, feel threatened when members of the general public start reading these studies for themselves and making a choice about their own health care, particularly when it comes to alternative health.
In future, if you have any constructive comments to make, please put your name. I find it annoying when someone has a criticism but will not put a name to their voice. I'd like to know who I am talking to.
