Green tea effective against breast cancer Category: Medical Studies Version: 1.2 Last modified: 06/30/2007 18:50 PST The study reviewed here was published in March of 2006 in Cancer Letters titled, "Green tea polyphenols and its constituent epigallocatechin gallate inhibits proliferation of human breast cancer cells in vitro and in vivo". This is a very interesting study. Human breast cancer cells were treated with EGCG, the main compound of interest in green tea. The EGCG was found to slow tumor growth as well as induce the death of cancer cells. This was done both in vitro (in the dish) and in vivo (in mice with human cancer cells), thus enhancing the importance of the claim. References:
