Is there a cure for colon cancer? Quite possibly. And, you won’t have to search too far as you can find this potential treatment on many household pantry shelves.
According to a recent study, scientific researchers believe that brewing a regular cup of green tea may be the answer. In preliminary tests, the scientists “used mice as a model as a model for colon cancer, and treated the animals with azoxymethane (AOM), a chemical that selectively induces cancer in the colon”, explains a NutraUSAIngredients.com news story. “At the age of eight weeks, the mice were divided into two groups – one to receive water or a green tea solution as the only beverage source for a further four to eight weeks”. The results were promising as “the researchers report that consumption of the green tea solution significantly inhibited the formation of new tumors in the colon”.
Should this be verified, we can add yet one further benefit to the many already associated with green tea. The drink has been previously touted as being nothing short of phenomenal; the many benefits include “lower risk of certain cancers, increased weight loss, improved heart health and protection against Alzheimer’s disease”, explains the news story.
The statistics associated with colon cancer are staggering – an estimated 945,000 cases of colorectal cancer with approximately 492,000 related deaths are reported each year worldwide. We may not have to experience such further tragedy. Boil up some water and make yourself some refreshing green tea – just what could be easier and healthier? It’s important to note that test results show no benefits against any larger, pre-existing tumors.
