Green Tea Reduces Serum Markers Predictive Of Prostate Cancer Progression

According to results of a study published in Cancer Prevention Research, men with prostate cancer who consumed the active compounds in green tea demonstrated a significant reduction in serum markers predictive of prostate cancer progression.

Green tea is the second most popular drink in the world, and some epidemiological studies have shown health benefits with green tea, including a reduced incidence of prostate cancer, according to Cardelli.

However, some human trials have found contradictory results. The few trials conducted to date have evaluated the clinical efficacy of green tea consumption and few studies have evaluated the change in biomarkers, which might predict disease progression.

I swaer I feal a lot better when I drink green tea.

Make it yourself with gren teabags and honey- just put 6 in a gallon jug and throw it in the fridge.

Add honey and for that citrus taste I discvered that a ‘sour’ mix (like for whiskey sour) is the tangiest and closest to purchased Green Tea

MY sinuses always clear up, I have a ton of energy and feel better when I drink it. And lost weight

“However, some human trials have found contradictory results.”

For crying out loud, make up your mind. I can’t stand green tea, but my wife makes me drink it all the time.

The way it’s going, I’ll be dead before they are sure it kept me alive. ;>)

I smoke and drink green tea so when I go they will say "the tobacco shortened his life but the green tea helped him get as far as he did."

I will go with a smile on my face knowing I gave the statisticians heartburn trying to spin my demise. ;-)

And knowing your prostate is your one organ worth harvesting.

Green tea is also supposed to be a good anti-oxidant and, when taken 3x per day, is supposed to attack the ‘brown’ fat (belly fat).

Don’t overlook my diaphragm. It’s in great shape from all the laughs I get around here.
