A recent study showed that green tea has phytonutrients that help inhibit the growth of breast cancer tumors. Since cancer cells in a malignant (cancerous) tumor can travel and reach other parts of the body (metastasize) and develop into new tumors.
The study also showed that green tea can induce the death of cancer cells. The aim is to develop a preventive treatment to avoid the cancer cells from spreading, and to stop the tumor from growing in size.
Asian countries that are known to consume significant amounts of green tea have been shown to have lower risks of developing breast cancer.
