Guest guest Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Green tea reduces prostate risk 21/04/2005 - Green tea is back in the news again after a new study showed that men at a high risk of contracting prostate cancer had their risk slashed after taking green tea catechins for a year. The study - whose results were made public yesterday at the 96th Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research - found that after a year's oral administration of green tea catechins (GTCs), only one man in a group of 32 at high risk for prostate cancer developed the disease, compared to nine out of 30 in a control. " Numerous earlier studies, including ours, have demonstrated that green tea catechins, or pure EGCG (a major component of GTCs), inhibited cancer cell growth in laboratory models, " said Dr Saverio Bettuzzi, who led the Italian research team. " We wanted to conduct a clinical trial to find out whether catechins could prevent cancer in men. The answer clearly is yes.
