Summary
A green tea extract worked in lab animals to wipe out some bladder cancer cells while leaving other cells unharmed, says a new study from the University of California Los Angeles. While this research confirms several previous studies, doctors say it is still too early to know whether the tea is really a good cancer treatment. UCLA is now beginning plans to test the tea on humans who have had cancer.
