I've been touched on a personal level on more than one occasion by the sad news that someone I know, whether a friend or family member has been diagnosed with this terrible disease. Given the dramatic advances within the medical world we all hope and pray that a cure is found one day soon. My curiosity was thus aroused when I glanced at a recent headline which talked about green tea and prostate cancer.
Seems that green tea's antioxidants which are called Catechins are considered as having quite powerful effects. Nowhere more so than when we talk about the different carcinogens that may go on to cause the actual disease. What green tea does is to reduce their potential to do the latter by lowering their toxicity. Another of its claims is to actually inhibit the formation of tumors, again directly attributed to these antioxidants.
Where ever preventative action like drinking green tea is truly effective only time will tell but considering it's a natural product which has been around since the ancient Chinese discovered it, maybe there's no harm in trying it. Like many of us who may already take a vitamin supplement as a daily ritual I'm happy to mention I've also found one that has a green tea extract on it's ingredient list.
