Green Tea and Prostate Cancer
I was reading an article that reinforces our many reasons to drink green tea. It appears that active compounds in green tea may slow down the progression of prostate cancer in men. Of course Green tea is alkaline and it would be a great addition to your high alkaline diet. Eating high alkaline foods (most are full of antioxidants) is an effective way to reduce your chances of developing cancer.
Researchers made capsules using green tea polyphenols to lower the level of proteins that tumors use to grow. 26 prostate cancer patients were tested, aged from 41 to 68. Each took the equivalent to drinking 12 cups of green tea -- for about a month before they had their prostates removed. Blood tests showed levels of three proteins associated with the growth and spread of prostate cancer fell. Few side effects were reported and liver function of the patients remained normal. This is just a starting point toward developing a newer and safer treatment for this form of cancer. Researchers said that it may slow the cancer but it does not shrink tumors. More studies will be needed to get better results.
Many men postpone prostate exams until it is too late. If you are over 40 years old then it is time to do the inevitable. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among American men. The American Cancer Society projects prostate cancer will be diagnosed in 192,280 men and will kill 27,360 in 2009.
