Blood cancer risk reduced by green tea
A new study by Japanese scientists has shown that green tea may prove highly beneficial for health and cut down the risk of developing blood cancer. Drinking 5 cups of tea per day was found to slow down the growth of cancer-causing viruses and micro-organisms. The study, carried out on more than forty thousand adults in Japan, suggests that those who regularly consume 5 cups of green tea have 42% lower chances of developing all types of blood cancer than those who drink one or fewer cups of the green tea.
