茶的种类众多最好的预防皮肤癌的就是绿茶，根据调查对比明天喝四杯绿茶的人，在患皮肤癌的几率比其他人低2-3倍。并且茶不仅仅可以预防皮肤癌对其他的癌症例如食道癌也有良好预防作用。根据最新的研究绿茶不仅仅可以预防皮肤癌，其可以造就癌症细胞周围血管的萎缩使其失去生命力，虽然现在还有没有研制出以绿茶为主要成分的抗癌药物，但是随之科技的发展在不久的将来定会实现。
生物谷报道：美国新罕布什尔州达特茅斯医学院研究人员最新研究发现，每天喝几杯茶可以减少患两种常见皮肤癌的危险。
研究作者Judy R. Rees博士领导的研究小组在研究了2200名成年人的饮食习惯和健康状况之后发现，喝茶的人患鳞状细胞癌和基底细胞癌这两种常见皮肤癌的危险较小。每天喝茶一杯以上的人，患这两种癌的可能性比不喝茶的人低20%至30%。
研究指出，茶中含有一种名为EGCG的抗氧化剂，能限制紫外线辐射对皮肤的伤害。在过去几十年一直喝茶、且每天至少喝两杯茶的人身上，这种效果更加明显。
研究小组也指出，上述发现并表示只要喝茶就不用防晒。因为目前还没有证据显示，喝茶可降低多次将皮肤晒到发痛的人罹患皮肤癌的危险。

Background
Tea constituents, including polyphenols, are hypothesized to have chemopreventive properties, and inhibit the induction of skin cancers in animal models.
Objective
To explore the association between regular tea consumption (≥1 cup/d for ≥1 month) and the incidence of squamous cell (SCC) and basal cell (BCC) carcinomas.
Methods
A population-based case-control study of 770 individuals with BCC, 696 with SCC, and 715 age- and sex-matched control subjects.
Results
After adjustment for age, sex, and lifetime history of painful sunburns, ever having consumed tea regularly was associated with a significantly lower risk of SCC (odds ratio [OR] = 0.70; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.53-0.92), especially among long-term drinkers (≥47 years consumption: SCC, OR = 0.49; 95% CI 0.29-0.83; P for trend = .008) and among those consuming ≥2 cups/d (OR = 0.65; 95% CI 0.44-0.96; P for trend = 0.013). After adjustment for age and sex, ever having consumed tea regularly was weakly associated with BCC risk (OR = 0.79; 95% CI 0.63-0.98).
Limitations
Our case-control study was susceptible to recall bias and to confounding by unknown cancer risk factors associated with tea consumption.
Conclusions
Our findings support the existence of an inverse association between tea consumption and skin carcinogenesis.
