The Mixed News on Cancer And Green Tea
If you're taking green tea only for the carcinoma protection, you could be interested in the outcome of a systematic review of studies that involved more than 1.6 million subjects taking a look at the benefits of green tea.
The review finds 'limited' evidence that the green variety of tea offers any protecting benefits... Though it remains a natural, savory beverage just the same.
Green tea comes from the same plant, Camellia sinensis, as black and oolong teas - each type is made using different processing strategies, and all forms are typically brewed and drunk as a drink.
Tea extracts can also taken in capsules, or you will find them in skin care products. Tea is safe for most people if you drink it in moderation, though it does have some caffeine ( not without its own complications ), and a bit of vitamin K ( a controversy if you're taking anticoagulants like warfarin ) per cup.
There's been a large amount of research over the years on tea of the green kind and its benefits to the body, and some evidence that regular drinkers do have reduced risks of heart problems and perhaps even some kinds of cancer.
In China this delicious libation is routinely used to treat infirmities like headaches and depression. There are a lot of sorts of tea grown in places all over the world, which allows for natural differences in taste and color due to growing conditions, harvesting and the type of processing.
The team of analysts who carried out the most recent work evaluated existing scientific literature on the green variety of tea - drinking or taking extracts - and identified 51 appropriate studies.
Twenty-seven of them were case-control studies, twenty-three cohort studies and one ( on prostate cancer ) a randomized controlled trial, the gold standard of clinical evidence.
The studies looked at green tea consumption and cancer of the digestive system, gynecological cancers including breast cancer, urological cancer including prostate cancer, lung cancer and carcinoma of the mouth. The research used were judged to be of medium to high methodological quality.
When it comes to stomach cancers and this type of tea the results were 'highly contradictory'. Boehm and the team found 'limited evidence' in terms of liver cancer risk and contrary evidence on digestive cancers.
Proof for bladder and lung cancers was 'limited to moderate', with a finding that green tea might really increase the risk of bladder cancer. Green tea appeared to give no protection for stomach cancers, with results named 'moderate to strong' by the researchers.
Green tea proves its good-for-you reputation when it comes to prostate cancer. Studies that are regarded as better quality do support a link between green tea ( in beverage or extract ) and lower risk of illness.
At best, right now the link between green tea and cancer remains unproven though you may have heard report of the research that link green tea to some amazing health benefits.
Benefits like better heart health, lowering high cholesterol, reducing the damage due to free radicals, stopping the unusual formation of blood clots as well as reducing the progression of cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease.
More research is required - a large, carefully designed research that involves participants who really drink enough tea as an element of their daily intake.
Naturally such work is time consuming and expensive - pointless if you're drinking tea for the taste and refreshment of it.
At intakes of 5 to 6 cups a day ( about 1,200 milliliters ) it is a safe, delicious beverage and although the advantages of green tea have not been completely confirmed, there's still evidence to show it helps with some conditions. - 17274
