Is green tea really a “cancer fighting” agent or supplement?
The short answer is no. Green tea’s health benefits are PREVENTATIVE. The EGCG that is contained in green tea is effective for PREVENTING certain cancers. A recent study using mice from the University of Southern California found that EGCG reduces the bioavailability of a specific anti-cancer drug called Velcade for the treatment of multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma. As with any life threatening disease or serious medical condition, we strongly recommend and urge you to seek the professional advice and opinion of your physician before the use of any natural therapeutic product.
