Green tea and mushrooms may ward off breast cancer
A study of eating habits among Chinese women found that mushrooms and green tea have the potential to cut breast cancer risk by up to 90 percent. Women who ate at least 10g (0.3 oz.) of fresh mushrooms daily were 64% less likely to develop breast cancer. And those who combined mushrooms with green tea saw an even greater risk reduction. Researchers suspect chemicals in the foods block tumor growth and boost the body's natural defenses against cancer.
