Green Tea May Help Ward Off Lung Cancer
Jan 14th, 2010 | By admin | Category: Featured, Green Tea, HerbsA new study out of Taiwan seems to show that green tea may significantly lower the risk for developing lung cancer among both smokers and non-smokers.
The study suggests that smokers and nonsmokers who consume a minimum of one cup of green tea per day appear to have a nearly 13-fold and fivefold lower risk, respectively, for developing lung cancer than smokers and nonsmokers who don’t drink any green tea.
The observed protective effect seems to result from the strong “antioxidative property” of polyphenols found in green tea preparations.
