More Cancer-Killing Compounds Found in Green Tea

Green tea has long been studied for its anti-cancer effects with positive results. But, new research published in the journal Cancer Science found there are two more reasons to drink green tea.Many past studies of green tea have shown the effectiveness of on one particular nutrient called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). But, in this exciting new study, researchers tested EGCG along with two additional plant nutrients found in green tea: catechins catechin gallate (CG), and epicatechin gallate (ECG) against one of the most deadly types of cancerpancreatic cancer. They tested the three nutrients ability to suppress cancer tumor growth and the inflammatory activity found in pancreatic tumor cells.The results were impressive: researchers found that ECGC effectively slowed tumor growth and reduced the cellular inflammation. Even more impressive, the two other nutrients: CG and ECG were substantially more effective than EGCG at halting the growth of tumors and reducing inflammation.Their research may be helpful for those suffering from pancreatic (or potentially other) types of cancer but also in the prevention of cancer. While there are benefits of supplementing with EGCG, it may be better to drink green tea regularly to benefit from its many phytonutrients, not just the best known one.Related:

Red Wine Reduced Breast Cancer Cells

Italian researchers from the University of Calabria say they demonstrated how a key ingredient in red wine inhibits the proliferation of human breast cancer cells . Resveratrol is the ingredient they say might be useful in the treatment of breast cancer, in addition to primary therapies. In their experiment resveratrol was applied to different cells and compared to cells that received no treatment. The cells receiving resveratrol showed a decrease in growth. A large reduction in estrogen receptor levels was believed to be related to the inhibition of the breast cancer cells. Their research study was published in the Journal of the Federation of American Societies forExperimental Biology. These findings are exciting, but in no way does it mean that should people go out and start using red wine or resveratrol supplements as a treatment for breast cancer, said Gerald Weissmann, M.D., Editor-in-Chief. (Source: ScienceDaily.com ) He said the research is more about the potential of resverat

Get Married, Live Longer?

Written by Jessica Cruel for YourTango.com New research shows that getting married could lengthen your life for up to 17 years .A study published in The American Journal Of Epidemiology reveals that single men have a 32 percent higher chance of death than married men across a lifetime. That means they could die eight to 17 years before the average married man of loneliness? Single women fare a bit better: They have a 23 percent (or about seven to 15 years) lower life expectancy compared to their married peers. This data is based on 90 studies of around 500 million people compiled over the last 60 years by researchers at the University of Louisville: No small feat. Younger singles face greater chances of early death. The risk of death for 30 to 39-year-old singles was 128 percent higher than for married people of the same age. On the other hand, 70-year-old singles only had a 16 percent higher risk of death. Perhaps its because theyve survived a single youth and emerged unscathed. These
