This is quite an interesting story that I've written about in more detail in my blog ( http://www.blue-genes.net/2009/06/does-green-tea-slow-prostate-cancer/ ). What's most interesting is how it's been recieved in the media - the fact that it's a tiny sample size has only been commented on in the Reuters article, and the lack of a control group hasn't been mentioned at all. In addition, the BBC article exhibits some very revealing mistakes that led me on a little bit of a detective adventure (from the comfort of my chair, obviously).
