Green Tea for Prostate Health

Asian cultures have promoted the many health benefits of green tea for thousands of years. In the last decade, modern science has been catching up. Hundreds of studies now confirm that you should be drinking a few cups of green tea every day. And two recent studies show that it provides particularly powerful prostate protection. (Say that three times fast!)

Italian researchers studied 62 men with a pre-cancerous prostate condition. (Normally, this condition would result in cancer in 30 percent of cases.) Half the men were given a placebo, while half consumed green tea extract daily. In the placebo group, 9 out of 30 men developed cancer. In the green tea group, only 1 out of 32 developed the disease. This is consistent with the results of an Australian study of Chinese men which found that those who consumed the most green tea were two-thirds less likely to develop prostate cancer.

You can buy organic green tea and green tea extract at any health food store.
