Medicinal tea
Consumption of green tea may help prevent cancer, suggest epidemiological studies conducted by researchers at the University of Toledo, Ohio, USA. Green tea contains chemicals called cathechins, including epigallo-cathechin-3 gallate (EGCG). EGCG inhibits urokinase (uPA), an enzyme which promotes cancerous growth. Researchers say that cancers need enzymes like uPA to invade cells and start metastases
