Health
- TFDG is a scavenger of superoxide in vitro, even more so than EGCG.[1]
- Tea polyphenols including TFDG reduce angiogenesis, which is implicated in non-liquid cancers, an area of intense current research, by decreasing vascular endothelial growth factor production and receptor phosphorylation.
- TFDG inhibits activity of the enzyme 3CLpro in vitro.[2]

Discussion of such language, when it is clear that it is not being used for the intent of harm, is okay, but should be undertaken with caution.```This is clearly being used as an insult.
