Tea may prevent endometrial cancer
A Chinese review of studies found that tea may help prevent endometrial cancer. The researchers noted that an increase in tea consumption of two cups per day was associated with a 25% reduced risk of developing the disease. The association was significant for green tea, but not for black tea. Endometrial cancer - which forms in the lining of the uterus - is the fourth most common cancer in American women. The National Cancer Institute says there are 42,000 new cases in the United States each year, and nearly 7,800 deaths.
