Green tea may help lung cancer sufferers

Recently I reported on how green tea can help to prevent skin cancer. New research suggests that green tea may also help to prevent lung cancer.

Scientists in America placed a sample of human lung into a green tea extract for three days. The extract remodeled a protein that was in the cells of the lung. The remodeled protein meant that the cells were less likely to stick together and move which may reduce the speed at which the cancer spreads through the lung.

Obviously, more research needs to go into the properties of green tea, but in the future, who knows, we may even see cancer drugs containing the green tea extract.
