Better safe than sorry. I'm not a proponent of supplements and things like a concentrated form of a drink like green tea. Antioxidants may not be good with active cancer, but the docs should answer this. Green tea extract has many precautions such as worsening anxiety, interfering with blood clotting plus a heavy hit on the liver.
