WWH :: Green Tea May Help Block Cancer

Printable version

Scientists have known for many years that Green Tea is rich in powerful anti-oxidants, which may help give some protection against cancers. However, they have now discovered that 2 chemicals present in Green Tea can help inhibit the activity of a specific molecule known to play an important part in the way cancers grow.

Known as the Aryl Hydrocarbon or AH receptor, this molecule has the power to activate genes either positively or negatively depending on certain factors. Toxins, dioxins, cigarette smoke and pollution can all cause the AH receptor to react in a negative way and instigate potentially harmful activity.

The chemicals in Green Tea, which have been found to inhibit AH activity, are remarkably similar to flavanoids found in broccoli, cabbage, red wine and grapes. It is thought that they act on a number of different pathways to shut down AH activity.

Although scientists stress this research is only in its infancy, the results are very encouraging.
