Green Tea Likely To Have No Effect On Breast Cancer Risk

Green Tea Likely To Have No Effect On Breast Cancer Risk:
"A new study published in the current edition of the journal Breast Cancer Research suggests that drinking green tea does not significantly decrease the risk for developing breast cancer. The study, performed by researchers from the National Cancer Center in Tokyo, Japan, calls an age-old belief into question"
and later
""Although in vitro and animal-based studies have suggested that green tea may have beneficial protective effects against breast cancer, results from human studies have been inconclusive, our large-scale, population-based prospective cohort study is one of the first to include a wide range of tea intakes; women who drank green tea less than one cup per week to those who drank 10 or more cups per day," Iwasaki says in a statement."
