We always hear about the benefits of green tea, and it is known that it contains antibiotics that are 100 times more effective than vitamin C, and 25 times better than vitamin E, which helps protect the cells of the body from damage, but in a study A recent American researcher found that an extract of green tea may be able to stop the growth and expansion of a cancerous tumor in the breast and its expansion in the body.
Dr. Catherine Crowe, from Columbia University Medical Center in New York, said that she and her colleagues discovered the benefits of polyphenone E extract, which is found in green tea, in reducing the development of breast cancer during an analysis of a previous study of 40 women with the disease. .
Crowe explained that this study is small and it is not possible to issue definitive results, but it may help in understanding the mechanisms of fighting tumors, according to the British newspaper, “Daily Mail”.
It is noteworthy that the women took different amounts of the extract, and others took another substance and were subjected to urine and blood samples examination after two months, 4 and 6 months, and it turned out after two months that those who took the extract recorded a decrease in the rate of tumor growth more than those who did not receive it, which is an indication essential for the development of breast cancer, while the difference is no longer significant after that period.
