Green Tea and Health
Green Tea and Health in 2005, the FDA deemed it unlikely that green tea reduces the risk of breast cancer, based on data available then. But the latest study to weigh in -- conducted in China, where green-tea consumption is high -- finds a strong protective effect. When the scientists asked 1,009 women with breast cancer and 1,009 healthy women of similar ages about their lifelong tea-drinking habits, they found that breast-cancer risk was 43 percent lower in those who drank green tea daily (controlling for factors such as fruit and vegetable intake). Earlier studies were conducted in populations with low green-tea consumption, which may explain their failure to find a benefit, says researcher Min Zhang of the University of Western Australia. To get the maximum intake of green tea's antioxidant polyphenols, women should drink it hot, not iced, and brew it for at least five minutes, she advises. Currently there's no conclusive evidence, she adds, but green-tea supplements may offer similar protection.
