Green Tea May Prevent Prostate Cancer

Did You Know?
Green Tea Reduced Inflammation, May Inhibit Prostate Cancer Tumor Growth


Men who drink green tea have been shown to have a reduced risk of prostate cancer and to enjoy better prostate health. Adding green tea to your daily routine can have a significant positive impact on your prostate health, and it is easy to do. Hot green tea can be enjoyed at any meal, as can iced green tea and green tea smoothies.


Green tea contains catechins, antioxidants that have been shown to kill certain bacteria, boost the immune system, reduce lower urinary tract symptoms, and help in the fight against various types of cancer, including prostate cancer. Catechins may also help men who have prostate intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN), a pre-cancerous condition that places men at high risk of developing prostate cancer. 


Men with prostate cancer who consumed green tea prior to undergoing prostatectomy had reductions in markers of inflammation, according to data presented at the 11th Annual AACR International Conference on Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research, held in Anaheim, Calif.,
"Our study showed that drinking six cups of green tea affected biomarkers in prostate tissue at the time of surgery," said Susanne M. Henning, Ph.D., R.D., adjunct professor at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California Los Angeles. "This research offers new insights into the mechanisms by which green tea consumption may reduce the risk for prostate cancer by opposing processes such as inflammation, which are associated with prostate cancer growth."
