Dementia and cancer risk may be reduced by green tea
A scientist team from the UK claims that regular green tea consumption could protect the brain against dementia and could also help prevent certain forms of cancer. The study centers around the finding that chemicals created when tea is digested are more effective against triggers of certain diseases than undigested form of the tea. The anti-cancer properties of these digested compounds protect the cells, preventing the toxins from destroying them. Although scientists working on the project admit that many factors influence diseases like dementia and cancer, they recommend to drink at least one cup of green tea per day.
