Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / November 2005tea for you cancer
I found a tea website www.teahistory.net, which has some tea for health articles, especially the green which can for your cancer and it is good for your health, you can find this article in this site. All green teas are not the same, at least in their supposed cancer fighting properties. In my research after being diagnosed I read a book by Hamilton Jordan, of the President Carter era, about his three bouts with cancer, PCa being one of them. He drank a lot of green tea and then, later, found out he was drinking the wrong kind of tea. So if you decide to try that for its cancer fighting properties, be sure you are getting the right thing. > I found a tea website www.teahistory.net, which has some tea for health > articles, especially the green which can for your cancer and it is good > for your health, you can find this article in this site. > All green teas are not the same, at least in their supposed cancer fighting > properties.

Some recent publications suggest ECGC is the active cancer fighting ingredient. It's present in all teas, more present in green tea, and more present still in "Sencha" green tea - the Japanese green tea variety that is also grown in China and elsewhere. However, some research indicates that even the Sencha tea doesn't have enough EGCG in a couple of cups a day to make much of a difference. In any case - all of this is still preliminary, based on test tube and mouse studies. I drank tea for 10 year for its health benefits. I still drink it, but I've also gone back to coffee, my preferred drink, since tea didn't keep me from getting PCa. Alan In the book he just relates the story about getting green tea in bulk, drinking a hell of a lot of it only to find out later that what he had was not the right variety of green tea. He never said what was the "right" kind of green tea for this purpose. Of course, this book is at least ten years old, so what we read today can be very different. And, as you say Alan, this is all preliminary research anyway. > > All green teas are not the same, at least in their supposed cancer fighting > > properties.
