27th June, 2007: Green Tea May Fight Lung Cancer
According to a recent article published at WebMD, Green tea may fight lung cancer.
Citing research at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), medical writer Miranda Hitti noted that one or more antioxidants in green tea seemed to have curtailed the movement of cancer cells. The study was conducted on human lung cancer cells in test tubes, however, more research is needed to prove whether drinking green tea curbs lung cancer in people.
Due to the encouraging results, though, researchers speculate that future lung cancer drugs may very well be based on green tea extract.
Previous green tea research at UCLA has included a 2001 study that indicated green tea in the prevention of Chronic Gastritis and a 2005 study that suggested potential as an anti-cancer agent.
