Green Tea
 |
Green Tea is a potent antioxidant that can neutralize mutations
within the DNA that could lead to the formation of a tumor. Green
tea prevents cancer cells from reproducing.
Researchers at the University of Murcia in Spain (UMU) and
the John Innes Center (JIC) in Norwich, England have shown that |
a compound called EGCG in green tea prevents cancer cells
from growing by binding to a specific enzyme.
"We have shown for the first time that EGCG, which is
present in green tea at relatively high concentrations, inhibits
the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), which is a recognized,
established target for anti-cancer drugs, " Professor Roger
Thorneley, of JIC, told Reuters.
Green Tea In Cancer
Scientists have found that certain cancers, such a pancreatic,
rectal, breast, skin and stomach cancer are lower in people who
consume green tea regularly than those who don't.
A study in the Journal Biofactors 2000 concluded that supplemental
green tea can successfully suppress oxidative DNA damage in both
the liver and pancreas. This is good news for anyone fighting
cancer.
Studies suggest that 3 cups of green tea daily may provide
protection against cancer. Green tea supplements are manufactured
for people who do not want to consume large amounts of tea daily.
You can often find these supplements at the health food store.
Green tea can be purchased in bags or as loose tea at your
grocery store, health food store or online. Why not start drinking
some green tea today?
