University of Mississippi researchers have concluded a study that indicates an ingredient in green tea dramatically inhibits breast cancer growth -- in mice. The antioxidant EGCG (epigallocatechin-3- gallate) helps prevent cells from becoming damaged and prematurely aged and the combination of green tea and EGCG might be beneficial in fighting some cancers.
Senior researcher Dr Gu stated, “In this study we have demonstrated that the frequent ingestion of EGCG significantly inhibits breast tumor growth, VEGF expression and tumor angiogenesis in mice. We believe our findings will help lead to new therapies for the prevention and treatment of breast cancer in women.” For more information about the study, read Ingredient Found in Green Tea Significantly Inhibits Breast Cancer Growth in Female Mice.

Hello Carolyn
on this issue I am fully agree with you. but If we want to combat against a dreadful disease like cancer we need a comprehensive knowledge of the cancer symptoms that can lead to the infliction of the disease which would help us to nullify its consequences at the elementary level.
thank you
