Japanese doctors denied the view that green tea reduces the risk of breast cancer. Does not help even 10 mugs a day.

The study involved 56 thousand. Women who were aware of how much green tea they usually drink. The analysis of all cases of breast cancer, which were found in participants of observation for five years, showed a complete lack of connection between the consumption of the drink and the risk of malignant tumors.

It should be noted that the study published by the journal Breast Cancer Research does not reject the fact that green tea can have other positive effects on the body - in particular, the authors mention that the relationship between tea consumption and the reduction in the likelihood of cardiovascular diseases.

In addition, the work of scientists from the National Cancer Center of Japan (together with their colleagues from the Harvard Medical School, USA) re-raises the question of why the residents of Japan and China are less likely to have breast cancer than European or American women. Previously, green tea was considered as a possible explanation, but now doctors will have to look for some other answer.
