contains substances that inhibit the growth of cancer cells.
findings have been published in the Journal of Food Science and Nutrition.
Chinese scientists analyzed 16 studies and found that women who drank plenty of green tea and regularly drank tea for several years had a lower risk of breast cancer.
the researchers concluded that epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is highly protective in addition to its antioxidant properties. It blocks the enzymes necessary for cancer cells to grow, thereby preventing tumors from growing.
, however, experts don't know exactly whether green tea has a preventive effect on all types of breast cancer, or whether it only applies to a few types. But they knew that green tea had no significant effect on prostate, bladder or stomach cancer -- and no similar regularity was found during the study.
scientists warn that while green tea is good for gut bacteria and helps with weight loss, keep in mind that green tea contains high levels of caffeine and is therefore not safe to overdose in certain conditions.
