Green Tea for Prostate Health, Prevent Prostate Cancer
prostate health is something that should be treated with a balanced diet your whole life. Keeler sums it up: “Prostate health is an issue that men should consider throughout their lifetime, not just when symptoms appear. Because of this location, when prostate health is compromised, it ends up causing many problems.
Studies concerning green tea and prostate cancer, as well as breast cancer, have been conclusive enough for the US FDA to approve a health claim stating that green tea may help reduce an individual’s risk of these types of cancer, providing that the claims are worded in such a way as to not mislead the consumer. It takes a lot for the FDA to approve health claims for foods or dietary supplements.
Green tea is unique in that it is produced from unfermented leaves and it contains a high concentration of polyphenols, which are chemicals that can serve as antioxidants. Antioxidants are essentially on a search-and-destroy mission against free radicals, compounds which compromise DNA and destroy cells. Free radicals are often to blame for the development of cancer as well as heart disease. The antioxidants immobilize free radicals and inhibit the damage often associated with them.
Some of the ingredients to look for include beta sitosterol, lycopene, nettle root, red clover and saw palmetto, along with green tea. The best men’s supplements contain all of these, because there are numerous studies concerning the protective affect that they have on the prostate gland.
Seems that green tea’s antioxidants which are called Catechins are considered as having quite powerful effects. Nowhere more so than when we talk about the different carcinogens that may go on to cause the actual disease. What green tea does is to reduce their potential to do the latter by lowering their toxicity. Another of its claims is to actually inhibit the formation of tumors, again directly attributed to these antioxidants.
EGCG and other anti-oxidants in green tea have been shown to have significant ability to slow the growth of cancer cells. One study showed that green tea prevented breast cancer from spreading in patients who already had the disease. Another showed that breast cancer patients who drank green tea had a significantly lower risk of the recurrence of breast cancer than those who did not drink green tea.
At least one other study has shown that green tea prevents prostate cancer. Another set of research showed that green tea appears to have the ability to act as a scavenger against a substance called Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). ROS are a form of free radicals that contribute to the development of prostate cancer, when they are produced in excess. The study showed that the particular anti-oxidants in green tea were effective at eradicating the ROS cells before they could turn into cancer cells.

Excellent information.
To cover the rest from N-Z, as you probably used up your maximum allowable space in A-M, perhaps you could post another question that could be part 2 and perhaps a further question that could be part 3 if you run out of space again.
