Studies About Green Tea and Cancer



In the late nineties there were quite a few studies about green tea’s ability to cure cancer. However recently there is even more evidence that the green stuff can inhibit tumor growth.

 
. In 2006 a research group headed by Dr. Jerzy Jankun from the Medical College of Ohio found that. epigallocathechin -3 gallate (EGCG) acts as a good inhibitor of urokinase, an enzyme that causes tumors to grow. Furthermore, green tea was compared to a well-known urokinase inhibitor called amiloride which can be consumed in a maximum dose of 20 mg per day. By contrast, a single cup of green tea contains up to 150mg of EGCG. Green tea lovers who consume five or more cups per day are benefiting from very high levels of this cancer cell inhibitor. It acts by preventing cancer cells from growing new blood vessel networks and building tissue masses.
 
Let’s just say that if you do have cancer it probably couldn’t hurt but it is probably a good idea to check with your doctor about this first.
