green tea findings

Anti-Cancer Compound in Green Tea Identified I love green tea. It's my drug. haha...

A new study shows that Researchers at the University of Murcia in Spain (UMU) and the John Innes Center (JIC) in Norwich, England have shown that a compound called EGCG in green tea prevents cancer cells from growing by binding to a specific enzyme. However, drinking green tea while pregnant may increase risk of birth defects? Not that we're having kids now, but that's one more thing for those poor pregnant moms out there to avoid. Looking ahead, pregnant moms will want to become the next 'bubble boy.'
