Tea for the ladies!

bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2006/04/08, 11:42 AM Ladies, want to brew up some cancer resistance, but don't like coffee? Start soaking those teabags in hot water (preferably fluoride-free)... According to this past December 26th's issue of the journal Archives of Internal Medicine, a massive study conducted by scientists from Sweden's National Institute of Environmental Medicine found that women who drank at least 2 glasses of green OR black tea every day slashed their risk of ovarian cancer by 46%! Those who drank only one cup per day still managed a 24% reduction in risk. The research, which followed a group or more than 61,000 women aged 40 to 76, also determined that each additional cup of tea consumed per day (beyond 2 cups) brought with it an additional 18% reduction in the risk of this common cancer of both pre- and post-menopausal women... Although dozens of studies have catalogued tea's health benefits, this massive Swedish study is one of only a few in existence that have examined the relationship between tea consumption and ovarian cancer, according to the researchers. Of course, one study does not a medical fact make, but it sounds encouraging, doesn't it? -------------- Strength and Honor!
