The Mixed Dtories on Cancer And Green Tea
If you are drinking green tea solely for the carcinoma protection, you may be interested in the results of a systematic review of studies that concerned 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, delicious drink just the same.
Green tea comes from the same plant, Camellia sinensis, as black and oolong teas - each type is formed using different processing strategies, and all forms are sometimes brewed and drunk as a drink.
Tea extracts can be taken in capsules, or you can find them in skin products. Tea is safe for the majority if you drink it carefully, though it does have some caffeine ( not without its own side-effects ), and a bit of vitamin K ( an argument if you're taking anticoagulants like warfarin ) per cup.
There's been a lot of research over the years on tea of the green kind and its advantages to the body, and some evidence that regular drinkers do have lower risks of coronary disease and perhaps even some sorts of cancer.
In China this delectable libation is often used to treat illnesses 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, cropping and the type of processing.
The team of researchers who conducted the newest work evaluated existing scientific literature on the green range of tea - drinking or taking extracts - and identified 51 suitable studies.
27 of them were case-control researchers, 23 cohort studies and one ( on prostate cancer ) a randomized controlled trial, the gold standard of clinical trials.
The studies looked at green tea consumption and carcinoma 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 quality.
When it came to stomach cancers and this type of tea the results were 'highly contradictory'. Boehm and the team found 'limited evidence' re liver cancer risk and contrary evidence on digestive cancers.
Evidence for bladder and lung cancers was 'limited to moderate', with a finding that green tea might basically increase the chance of bladder cancer. Green tea appeared to offer no protection for stomach cancers, with results termed 'moderate to strong' by the study team.
Green tea proves its healthy reputation when it comes to prostate cancer. Studies that are considered higher quality do support a link between green tea ( in drink or extract ) and lower risk of illness.
At best, at the moment the linkage between green tea and cancer remains unproven though you'll have heard information from the study that link green tea to some amazing health benefits.
Benefits like better heart health, lowering high cholesterol, reducing the damage due to free radicals, reducing the abnormal formation of blood clots as well as slowing the progression of cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease.
Additional research is required - a giant, carefully constructed study that involves participants who actually drink enough tea as an element of their daily consumption.
Of course such work is time consuming and expensive - unnecessary if you are drinking tea for the taste and refreshment of it.
At intakes of five to six cups a day ( about 1,200 milliliters ) it's a safe, exquisite libation and though the advantages of green tea have not been completely confirmed, there's still evidence to show it helps with some conditions. - 17268
