Drinking tea correctly can also prevent cancer

If we must choose a tea beverage as a daily drink but are overwhelmed by the variety in the tea market, I suggest considering green tea. It not only has cancer-preventing effects but also many unexpected health benefits. Below, let’s take a look at the amazing effects of green tea.

A study from the Singapore Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology found that the polyphenols in green tea, when combined with the anticancer drug Herceptin, form a stable and effective compound that targets tumors directly. Compared to Herceptin without tea polyphenols, this compound is more effective in controlling tumor growth and extends the drug's half-life in the blood, making its effects last longer.

More notably, while many traditional anticancer drugs have significant side effects, this compound has relatively fewer side effects.

The cancer-preventing effects of green tea have long been confirmed. A 9-year survey in Japan found that drinking 4 cups of green tea daily can reduce cancer risk by 40%; studies in Europe and America have confirmed that green tea can reduce the risk of tumors in multiple areas, including the breast, prostate, lungs, mouth, bladder, colon, stomach, and pancreas.

A joint study by the State Key Laboratory of Genetic Engineering at Fudan University and the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine found that green tea significantly counteracts the toxic side effects of anticancer drugs. Cancer patients who drink more green tea while taking the anticancer drug daunorubicin can greatly improve its efficacy.

Through the above explanation, it is clear that green tea plays a significant role in cancer prevention. So, let’s drink more green tea in the future.
