Positive effects of green tea on lung cancer
Drinking green tea may offer some protection against lung cancer, according to Taiwanese scientists. In as study of more than 500 people, they discovered that among smokers, those who did not drink green tea at all were more than 12 times as likely to develop lung cancer than those who drank at least a cup a day. Researchers also analyzed the DNA of people in the study and found certain genes appeared to play a role in the risk reduction.
