Green tea may slow prostate cancer development

The results of a small study suggest that the active compounds in green tea might slow the progression of prostate cancer.

There were few reported side effects, and the men’s liver function remained normal, according to James A. Cardelli, a professor and director of basic and translational research at the Feist-Weiller Cancer Center at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center-Shreveport, and his research colleagues. The findings are reported in Cancer Prevention Research.
