Drinking Green Tea Is Not Associated With Risk Of Breast Cancer

Drinking Green Tea Is Not Associated With Risk Of Breast Cancer.
Although some fact-finding has suggested that drinking amateurish tea might help mind women from breast cancer, a new, large Japanese study comes to a different conclusion. "We found no overall friendship between green tea intake and the risk of breast cancer among Japanese women who have habitually bat green tea," said lead researcher Dr Motoki Iwasaki, from the Epidemiology and Prevention Division at the Research Center for Cancer Prevention and Screening of the National Cancer Center in Tokyo. "Our findings suggest that rural tea intake within a usual drinking predisposition is improbable to reduce the risk of breast cancer".

The report is published in the Oct. 28 online outcome of the journal Breast Cancer Research. For the study, Iwasaki's team calm data on 53,793 women who were surveyed between 1995 and 1998. As part of the survey, the women were asked how much common tea they drank.

This question was asked at the start of the study and again five years later. During the b survey, the researchers asked about two different types of verdant tea, Sencha and Bancha/Genmaicha. Among the women, 12 percent drank less than one cup of amateur tea a week, while 27 percent drank five or more cups a day, the researchers found. The research also included women who drank 10 or more cups a day.
