According to a study conducted by researchers at the Hormel Institute at the University of Minnesota, green tea high in the polyphenol epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is “believed to be the major biologically active compound found in [the drink].” Researchers of the study had already suspected that EGCG properties would help cease lung cancer growth but further investigation was needed as the effects of EGCG were not defined. Their findings revealed that EGCG suppressed the independent growth of H1299 and CL13 lung cancer cells through its binding with the existing protein G3BP1.
Japanese researchers of an additional study assessing citrus and green tea consumption from the Ohsaki National Health Insurance Cohort noted that when green tea and citrus fruits are combined daily in one’s diet, an anti-cancer effect is produced. The nine year study calculated the citrus consumption of 42,470, where 3,398 people had developed cancer. A scale was used to analyze participants’ consumption of citrus, ranging from never, occasionally, 1 to 2 times a week, 3 to 4 times a week, and daily. Results revealed that daily citrus consumption reduced the cancer effect in men and women between 11 and 14 percent, and those participants who consumed a combined cup of green tea experienced an effect of up to 17 percent.
While the effects of green tea have been limited to laboratory studies, the range of research and its results is reason enough to substitute your morning coffee and skimp out on the soda.
