Can green tea help in the battle against leukaemia?

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

Taken from: http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/uknews/news20051222.shtml#10

 

Both the Daily Mail and the Daily Express feature the news that research by

the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, has suggested that green tea may

help to treat leukaemia in adults. Of four patients who started drinking the

tea or taking its extracts in tablet form, three showed clear improvements

in their conditions in the following months. Earlier research has shown that

the drink can prevent people from getting cancer, but this is the first

study to suggest it may actually kill cancer cells and reverse the hold

which the disease has on some patients. Green tea contains a compound in the

leaves known as epigallocatchin gallate, an antioxidant which can cleanse

the body of free radicals.

 

Warm regards,
