Re: [iSD] Green Tea / FDA

 

 

 

In My "alleged" mind, the FDA has it's hands in the pockets of the

Pharmaceutical Industry, so I think I understand it's motivation. Especially

after they crudely invaded Dr Wright's home & office and 'violently' wiped out

his viable alternative medicinal approach, that worked better than the meds

we're being fed. (lotsa greed goin' around).

Back to Eden................(great book)

Just my 2 cents,

Green tea unlikely to reduce cancer risk

The evidence that green tea may reduce risk of some cancers is weak and its

unlikely to cut

cancer risk, U.S. Federal Drug Administration officials said.

 

 

"Two studies do not show that drinking green tea reduces the risk of breast

cancer in women, but one

weaker, more limited study suggests that drinking green tea may reduce this

risk," the FDA said in a

statement Friday. "Based on these studies, FDA concludes that it is highly

unlikely that green tea

reduces the risk of breast cancer."

 

In addition FDA said, "One weak and limited study does not show that drinking

green tea reduces the

risk of prostate cancer, but another weak and limited study suggests that

drinking green tea may

reduce this risk -- based on these studies, the FDA concludes that it is highly

unlikely that green

tea reduces the risk of prostate cancer."

 

The FDA will continue to evaluate new information on consumption of green tea to

determine if

changes in these claims, or in the decision, are necessary, the agency said.
