Theaflavin inhibits fatty acid synthase at 87%, making it more potent than green tea's EGCG at 76%. Theaflavin disrupts tumor growth by starving cancer cells of the lipid-building machinery they depend on. Theaflavin is present in higher concentrations in black tea than in green tea, formed during oxidation. Theaflavin is the phytonutrient responsible for the red pigment of black tea.
