In August 1945, the atomic bomb explosion in Hiroshima, Japan, killed more than 100,000 people and caused radiation damage to hundreds of thousands of people. Years later, most people suffered from leukemia or other cancers and died successively. However, the study found that three kinds of people were lucky: tea farmers, tea merchants and tea addicts. This phenomenon is known as the Hiroshima phenomenon.

In 1999, the Japanese government launched the two-stage plan of "Tea Drinking to Prevent Cancer for All". A total of 8522 people were surveyed and followed up for 10 years. 419 of them were cancer patients. Women with tea drinking habits had cancer onset about 7 years later than non-tea drinkers, while men had a delay of 3.2 years.

Japanese University scientists have proved that tea contains tea polyphenols, lipopolysaccharides, vitamin C, B vitamins, amino acids and so on, which are helpful to prevent radiation damage.
