Anyone else done this?Actually guys, there is lots of proof that it does. If you're interested, do research on it - don't just accept the NIC statement that there are 'conflicting results' - EGCG has been conclusively proven to inhibit tumor formation, and green tea contains it in abundance.
April, it greatly reduces the risk, therefore having a preventative effect - that does not mean that it prevents ALL cancer, and it is known to prevent some cancers better than others. I have never heard that it prevents brain cancer, so that would explain why you got it. Also maybe you weren't drinking enough. I hope your cancer is treatable and that you have a speedy recovery.
lo_mcg - There is no scientific evidence to prove that green tea either prevents or fights cancer.
ReplyDeleteIf you enjoy green tea (does anyone?), then by all means drink 12 cups a day - fill your boots.
But don't imagine it will protect you from cancer.
Denisedds - That is fine, but it wont prevent cancer.
ReplyDeleteLindsy Mccloud - THATS WAY TOO MUCH! YOU ARE GONNA TURN INTO GREEN TEA!
ReplyDeleteapril - Well, I drank it before I was ever diagnosed with cancer and drank more during my treatments. But I drink it because I like it and it's good for you, as all tea is. So feel free to drink up, however, if you're gonna get cancer, you're gonna get cancer.
ReplyDeleteActually James, did you NOT read my answer! If it prevented and fights cancer, I wouldn't have cancer now would I?? Geez, gullible kids!
It's also been shown that fruits and vegs and black teas and coffee may prevent cancer also... I've heard and read all about ecgc. It's even stated on the box of tea...
It hasn't actually been studied in humans in any worthy extent if at all...Marji McCullough, ScD, RD, the American Cancer Society's strategic director of nutritional epidemiology, says human studies haven't yet proven what researchers like Chan have discovered in the lab:
Grapes, berries, red wine, and dark chocolate have antioxidants also...

Rebba - Some comman components of human diets also act as mild Angiogenesis Inhibitors and therefore have been proposed for Angio prevention, the prevention of metastasis through inhibition of Angeogenesis.
