The Medical College of Georgia School of Dentristy reports another reason to drink Green Tea...it helps destroy Cancer cells. A compound found in the tea called "polyphenols" as well as a protein called "p57" are found to actually help and protect healthy cells and destroy harmful cancer cells by breaking them down and leading to their destruction. Researcher Dr. Stephen Hsu has discovered the benefits of the Green Tea helping things such as wrinkles to oral cancer. Speaking to an audience attending the Arthritis Foundation's fifth biennial Arthritis Research Conference, he says, "I wanted to know how green tea polyphenols affect the production of autoantigens." Dr.Hsu believes the research and data he has collected will show that the a polyphenol called EGCG found in the tea actually works as an anti-inflamatory towards such diseases as Lupus, type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, as well as Sjogren's Disease. Hsu adds, "If EGCG suppresses inflammation, it should affect the magnitude of the autoimmune response, possibly by suppressing autoantigens."
