Preventing Prostate Cancer With Green Tea

The mysteries of cancer have eluded us for years. However, we are

beginning to learn many pieces of valuable information about how

to prevent many different kinds of cancer. And, of course, once

we learn more about how to prevent the disease, we can better

understand how to treat it, as well. Research is ongoing, and

scientists are learning much about this disease, though there

still is much to learn.

One form of cancer that plagues many men is prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer found in

American men, other than skin cancer. The American Cancer Society

estimates that there will be about 234,460 new cases of prostate

cancer in the United States in 2006. About 27,350 men will die of

this disease.

Prostate cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death in

men, after lung cancer and colorectal cancer. While 1 man in 6

will get prostate cancer during his lifetime, only 1 man in 34

will die of this disease. Earlier detection and better treatments

are making the death rate for this disease go down.

Yet, there is still much work to do to learn the causes of

prostate cancer and to develop more reliable treatments. If we

can further our research and learn the causes of more types of

cancer, including prostate cancer, then we will be well on our

way to preventing more incidences of this disease.

There have been some promising findings, and it appears that one

thing that we can do to prevent prostate cancer is to include

green tea in our diet. We've learned through research that green

tea has the ability to prevent many forms of cancer, prostate

cancer among them. Studies of Asian culture, where green tea

consumption is high and cancer incidences are much lower have led

to the understanding of how green tea can help in this area.

One study of particular interest was reported by the UK Tea

Council. This study showed that green tea consumption appears to

have the ability to act as a sort of scavenger against a

substance called Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS).* ROS are a form

of free radicals that cause cell damage.

This particular form of free radical appears to be one that

especially contributes to the development of prostate cancer,

when it is produced in excess. But, the anti-oxidants contained

in green tea have the particular abilities to get at these free

radicals and eradicate them, preventing them from developing into

cancer cells.

So, it appears that prostate cancer is just one of the many that

green tea may have the power to prevent. And, the power appears

to be in the anti-oxidants that are found in green tea. Anti-

oxidants are important because they combat free radicals, like

ROS, in our bodies. These free radicals are created as a by

product of converting the food we eat to energy.

When free radicals are not kept in check, they damage our cells

and DNA. This leads to faster aging and a higher risk of many

diseases, including cancer.

For this reason, a diet high in anti-oxidants is now believed to

be one of the best ways to prevent disease and premature aging.

And, green tea, along with certain fruits and vegetables provide

some of the most potent sources of these important substances. If

you're not already doing so, add pomegranates, blueberries,

artichokes, tomatoes and asparagus to your diet. These fruits and

vegetables have been found to have the most potent anti-oxidants.

And, wash it all down with green tea.

One great reason that green tea is such a good way to prevent

disease and protect health is that it has no side effects, so

everyone can use it. Even those who are sensitive to caffeine can

usually tolerate green tea quite well. Green tea is far lower in

caffeine than coffee or black tea. In addition, the caffeine in

green tea doesn't appear to cause a fast heart rate and jitters

the way that many other caffeine containing beverages do.

The news about prostate cancer and green tea is important to

deliver, particularly to American men. On average, the American

man is far more likely to drink coffee than tea. And, when

American men do drink tea, they are much more likely to drink

black tea. So, we should spread the word to all the men in our

lives that green tea is a powerful health protector.

So, make green tea part of your healthy lifestyle, particularly

if you happen to be a man. Green tea is refreshing and delicious.

And, green tea may be a simple and important way to prevent

disease and ensure that we live long and healthy lives. So,

whether your pleasure is hot or iced, have your cup of green tea

today and every day!
