Study to probe green tea's potential against HPV
Researchers at University Medical School in Arizona are looking for test subjects to participate in a study on green tea's potential in preventing the human papilloma virus, a virus that can lead to cervical cancer in women. Previous experiments have shown that green tea extract helps clear up cervical lesions created by the virus. The goal of the study is to see if more women who receive treatment with Polyphenon E, a chemical present in green tea, clear the HPV than those receiving the placebo.
