tea a cancer fighter

Green tea contains antioxidants, which may help prevent/treat cancer

There have been studies in recent years that showed that green tea can prevent cancer cells from growing because green is believed to contain the most potent anti-oxidant. although theres has been no mention about how much of green tea needs to be consumed to reduce the risk of cancer but 2 or 3 cups may be beneficial even thinking of health benefits. anyway there is much research to be done which can prove as to how much green tea can be or required to taken to combat the cancer. may be in the year to come the researchers will come out with exact results.

I have heard that green tea reduces death rates from heart disease. Researchers from Tohoku University in Japan investigated data of more than 400,000 participants aged 40 to 79 years. These individuals were followed for 11 years, and the death rates from heart disease, cancer and other causes were analyzed. Researchers found that the heart disease death rate from participants who drank more than five cups of green tea daily is 26 percent lower in the first seven years of study. In addition, researchers found that the benefits of green tea appeared to be stronger in women than men. The results of this study were published in the Journal of American Medical Association in September 2006.

Now, the answer of your discussion is: the human studies on green tea are mainly based on observation and don't prove that tea is responsible for results. But as one of the world's most popular drinks, tea is widely considered healthy, whether it's green, black, or white tea. However, green tea and green tea supplements generally contain higher amounts of disease-fighting antioxidants called polyphenols than black tea. Tea's antioxidants may protect against some forms of cancer. They may also help prevent heart disease by relaxing blood vessels and preventing blood clots.
