I have heard that drinking Green Tea helps to fight cancer and shrink cancer tumors. Is this True?

Answer 1

I wish, then I wouldn't need chemo would I.

Answer 2

Yes green tea can help to fight cancer,just like vegetables and fruits.They are natural and come from the earth,unlike medicine it's not man made.Green tea has powerful antioxidants,just like fruits and vegetables. They protect the cells better from cancer because they work with the body.Basically it boost the immune system and has no side effects like Chemotherapy.Medicine has dangerous side effects too who know what in medicine or when it comes from.Nature provides everything the body needs to be healty.Asian men are less likelly to get prostate cancer or any other types of cancer because they drink 4 cups or more of green tea,black tea or any other type of teas per day.

Answer 3

Yes - it is an antioxidant which helps to protect the body's cells from destruction caused by free radicals (ions with unpaired electron- which are very reactive and damaging). I'm not sure that a Green Tea can shrink cancer tumours, that doesn't seem physiologically possible since cancer tumour cells are not that much different from our own, except from the fact they exist in undifferianted state, by that I mean they have no specific cellular function, and divide very rapidly; and therefore, if it were possible for Green Tea to have an effect on them, then by the same logic it would be equally harmful to normal cells as well but the good news is since Green Tea is an antioxidant, it can certainly help reduce the risk of getting cancer.

It has many other uses. e.g. skin, weight loss

Answer 4

easily no longer. Asians get maximum cancers basically as much as all people else. Smoking is a rapid-song to lung maximum cancers, mouth maximum cancers, throat maximum cancers, and diverse different lung-correct illnesses like bronchitis. once you're so nerve-racking approximately your well being, you quite do could desire to give up smoking. once you're smoking 5 cigarettes an afternoon, how approximately next week you purely smoke 4? And the week after that, 3? etc until you're thoroughly smoke-loose!

Answer 5

No. There is no evidence at all that green tea has any effect on cancer, either in preventing it or treating it. I have to agree with Bamjam that people who push this and similar 'alternative' cancer treatments are invariably people who have never had cancer or studied it.

Answer 6

People who say that haven't had cancer and are idiots. It is not true and taking high doses of any vitamin, pill or antioxidants to treat cancer instead of protocol is just making natural selection a little faster.

Answer 7

NCI said no.
