Anti-Cancer Compound in Green Tea Identified
Story dated 15 March 2005
A pot of green tea keeps the doctor away. "Researchers at the University of Murcia in Spain (UMU) and the John Innes Center (JIC) in Norwich, England have shown that a compound called EGCG in green tea prevents cancer cells from growing by binding to a specific enzyme." That's good news; I already drink a lot of green tea. It also kills the bacteria that cause cavities and bad breath. My dentist says that I have some of the best-maintained teeth she has ever seen.
