Article 1: Inhibition of Autoantigen Expression by (---) – Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (the Major Constituent of Green Tea) in Normal Human Cells
There are 8.5 million USA patients with autoimmune disorders such as
Sjogren's syndrome, lupus and psoriasis. Test results from cell culture and animal models suggest that natural Green Tea Polyphenols such as EGCG (active phytochemicals) can delay the onset and reduce the severity of auto‑immune disorders by three mechanisms‑‑‑ 1) inhibiting the expression of the auto‑immune attack, 2) by protecting the targeted cells and 3) by inhibiting the inflammation in affected tissues‑‑‑when taken orally or applied to the skin.

Article 2: Green Tea Polyphenol Causes Differential Oxidative Environments in Tumor versus Normal Epithelial Cells
This study's finding concluded that EGCG Polyphenols found in Green Tea
can simultaneously enhance the tumor cell death rate and protect normal
cells from chemo/radiation induced damage. This finding can lead to the
use of naturally occurring polyphenols to improve the effectiveness of
chemo/radiation therapy in killing cancer cells while protecting healthy
cells adjacent.

Article 3: Green Tea and the Skin
This published study summarizes the findings using Green Tea polyphenols
as natural healing, anti‑aging and chemopreventive (or disease‑fighting)
agents for human skin. Findings indicate Green Tea is a multifunctional
agent‑‑‑as a topically applied skin cancer preventative it reduces the
number of sunburn cells and DNA damage‑‑‑helps prevents
photo‑aging‑‑‑shows potential to correct skin disorders such as psoriasis, rosacea, dandruff, acne and other conditions where the skin barrier function is often disrupted or there is abnormal (or lack of) skin cell differentiation.

Article 4: A Mechanism-Based In Vitro Anticancer Drug Screening Approach for Phenolic Phytochemicals
This study describes the results of a device being used to detect tumor‑cell death and normal cell survival activated by the introduction of the phenolic compounds  found in Green Tea.

Article 5: Green Tea Polyphenols Induce Differentiation and Proliferation in Epidermal Keratinocytes
This study's result suggests that the polyphenols found in Green Tea may
be used for the treatment of wounds or certain skin conditions caused by altered cellular activities or metabolic factors. 

Article 6:  Induction of apoptosis in oral cancer cells: agents and mechanisms for potential therapy and prevention
This review summarizes the results of investigations focused on inducing
cell‑death in oral cancer cells through the use of synthetic compounds
and naturally‑occurring agents such as the polyphenols found in
Green Tea.

Article 7: A New Approach to Managing Oral Manifestations of Sjogren’s Syndrome and Skin Manifestations of Lupus
This article reviews the research data currently available on the use of
the polyphenols present in Green Tea in treating the oral symptoms of
diseases such as Sjogren’s syndrome and other autoimmune disorders such as psoriasis and systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE).

Article 8:  Green Tea Polyphenol-Induced Epidermal Keratinocyte Differentiation is Associated with Coordinated Expression of p57/KIP2 and Caspase 14
This study indicated that genes activated by EGCG would accelerate further research into how the EGCG polyphenols found in Green Tea help to modulate human cell growth that may be useful in developing Green Tea preparations for selected clinical applications.

Article 9: Roles of Catalase and Hydrogen Peroxide in Green Tea Polyphenol-Induced Chemopreventive Effects
This study investigated the anticancer potential of Green Tea polyphenols and the effect EGCG has in protecting various cells from chemical or physical damage that leads to cancer. Conversely, EGCG induces tumor cell death and survival of the adjacent normal cells.
