The research team led by Masami Suganuma, a researcher at saitama Cancer Institute, confirmed that if green tea is drunk together with anticancer drugs, the curative effect can be improved by 2-7 times. It is said that if you drink 10 cup of green tea every day, the effect will be more obvious and the side effects of anticancer drugs will be reduced.
According to research, catechins such as EGCG, the main component of tea, have the ability to inhibit cancer cells.
The influence of diffusion.
Suganuma et al. took the preventive medicine with the effect of inhibiting the proliferation of cancer cells together with green tea in the United States, which proved that it had the effect of killing lung cancer cells. They added EGCG to the drug "Ryndak" for preventing colorectal cancer, which can improve the curative effect by 3-7 times depending on the shade. Adding EGCG to the drug "tamoxifen" for preventing breast cancer can improve the curative effect by two times.
It is said that in order to improve the curative effect. You need to drink 10 cup of green tea a day (about 1000 ml). These anticancer drugs mainly have the function of using their anti-inflammatory effects to prevent cells with damaged genes from becoming cancerous.
Suganuma said: "Drinking green tea can help reduce the side effects of taking drugs to treat diseases such as gastric ulcer and thrombosis. People who drink more green tea must have strong anti-cancer ability. "
New explanation of diet health care for the elderly [1reported in Health News on February 20, 997]
Green tea is anti-aging. Recent research by American scholars points out that green tea can delay the occurrence of heart disease or cancer. Because it contains a lot of anti-aging agents, green tea is 100 times more effective than vitamin C and 25 times more effective than vitamin E in protecting human cells and genetic material deoxyribonucleic acid from cancer, heart disease and other fatal diseases.
Japan-A study proves that [Science and Technology Daily199865438+February 2 1 Report]
Green tea can prevent influenza.
Recently, Tadashi Shimamura, a professor at the Faculty of Medicine of Showa University in Japan, confirmed through research that green tea has an inhibitory effect on influenza virus infection, and regular drinking of green tea can prevent influenza. The infection of influenza virus is accomplished by the bulge on the surface of the virus. When the virus enters the human body, the protrusions on the surface of the virus will attach to the healthy cells of the human body. When the infected cells reach a certain number, people will catch a cold. Green tea contains a kind of tea acid, which is a kind of polyphenol. Polyphenol is also a component of red wine, which is very beneficial to human body, so it is famous. This kind of tea tastes sour, and green tea contains a lot. When it meets the influenza virus, it can combine with the protuberance on the surface of the virus, thus inhibiting the virus from infecting healthy cells.
The research team used cultured cells for experiments. They added the light green tea with the concentration of 1/4 when ordinary people drank tea to the influenza virus, and the infectivity of the influenza virus was almost completely lost. At the same time, spraying green tea water on mice, pigs and other animals also showed obvious flu prevention effect. In addition, the study also proves that this tea acid has preventive effect on all kinds of influenza, such as Su A, Hong Kong A and Hong Kong B.
Cancer Prevention of Green Tea According to Reference News 65438+1February 20, 998, American Information
WASHINGTON, Reuters 1998 12 16 Researchers say that green tea contains substances that can kill tumor cells, which may explain why this popular beverage in Asia can prevent cancer.
A couple research team at Purdue University found that the content of some compounds in green tea is higher than that in green tea.
It is much richer in all kinds of tea.
Dorothy Moore, a professor of food and nutrition research at Purdue University, said in the report: "Our research shows that the leaves of green tea are rich in anticancer substances, and their concentration is quite high enough to produce anticancer effects in the body."
Moore and her husband, James Malone, are chemists and pharmacologists at Purdue University. They have heard various legends about the anticancer effect of green tea and started to study its mechanism.
Mr. and Mrs. Moore said that they found that green tea affects an enzyme called nitrogen oxides. "In contrast, cancer cells always show the activity of nitrogen oxides." This tumor-related NOX activity is called NOX. Moore and his wife found that epicatechin can inhibit nitrogen oxides, but it has no effect on ordinary nitrogen oxides.
Moore said: "This is one of the first studies to directly link epicatechin in green tea with anticancer activity."
Moore reports that epicatechin inhibits breast cancer tumor cells cultured in the laboratory.
Activity, but it doesn't seem to affect normal healthy breast cells.
Germans favor China tea culture [Economic Information Daily reported in February 65438+February 65438+March 1998]
Germans like green tea. They know from China's books about tea that drinking green tea for a long time is good for human health, so they are particularly interested in green tea.

German news media even described green tea as "curing all diseases and prolonging life", which will naturally have a great impact on Germans who pay more and more attention to health preservation.
