Where can I find accurate information about the medicinal value of Green Tea as a cancer prevention?

Question

I am undergoing treatment for prostate cancer and I want to do whatever I can to prevent recurrence

Answer 1

You can go here and search the medical literature yourself.

I did a search using green tea, prostate as my search terms and another using green tea, prostate, recurrence as my search terms and got hits in each search. Evidently there is quite a bit of speculation that habitual drinking of green tea might help prevent prostate cancer in the first place. less info about it's ability to prevent a recurrence. I do know there is a lot of speculation that drinking green tea regularly might stop you from getting additional skin cancers and supposedly helps repair the broken DNA that allows skin cancer to happen in the first place.

With all alternative cancer prevention ideas, you have to take them with a grain of salt. Today's miracle remedy might be tomorrow's next no no for the same situation. I will say that I started drinking green tea regularly a few years ago and now look forward to my morning and afternoon green tea. There are also capsules available that contain the extract from green tea that is supposed to slow or prevent cancer growth.
Green tea is inexpensive and safe so I do not think you could go wrong with trying it. I make a large pot (2 tea bags) in my coffee maker and just store the rest in a pitcher in the refrig so I do not always have to be brewing additional cups. 8 cups or one pot lasts me about 2 days.
Good luck with the prostate.

The only place you will ever find accurate information is through legitimate research . . all else will be speculation at best and outright scam at the worst.

You can start research in any medical library affiliated with a designated comprehensive cancer center, university, hosptial or check the National Library of Medicine for specific research . . make sure you examine all results as sometimes there can be conflicting reports on the same topic.

Answer 3

There is no guarantee against recurrence drinking green tea. But, it is good for you.
Being most of the green tea leaves come from China and only a small amount of pollution and is even better tasting.
But, if you are going to use green leaf tea don't use the bag form. Use loose leaf type it better and taste better.
