We are often told we need to drink more green tea. And in a later blog entry we will delve into this. But here we talk about a study that claim it may help with Prostate cancer.
Bristol and Oxford University researchers plan a major trial after earlier studies showed that drinking green tea, or tomato juice, could lower the risk of contracting prostate cancer. Doctors could be asked to recommend that men at risk drink green tea or tomato juice daily to ward off the disease if the trial is successful.
Tomatoes contain a compound called Lycopene, an antioxidant which has been linked to reducing cell damage and preventing cancer growth. Green Tea contains antioxidants known as flavoids which are thought to reduce damage to cell DNA.
Anything than can help our immune system fight off illness and disease is great.. This is definitely an interesting study.
