White tea and cancer
White tea has only recently been found to be effective against cancer cells. It has the ability to inhibit cancer cells and prevent formation of new ones.
While research is still being done preliminary studies have shown amazing effects of white tea against cancer. Obviously it is not by any means a cure, it has still been found to be effective in many cases for the prevention of new cancer cells as well as stopping the power of present cells.
The studies have currently been done on the effects of white tea on stomach, colon and prostate cancers.
The power to inhibit the cancer causing cells comes from the high concentration of antioxidants present in white tea. In particular, a class of antioxidants called flavanoids is known for their cancer preventing abilities.
There are other benefits to white tea as well. Besides the well known weight loss power it has, it is also known for its ability to reduce high blood pressure and improve circulation of blood in the heart. In addition, it is also a antibacterial drink.
As a whole, white tea has so many benefits, that we are unable to put it all in one post. Be sure to check out the specific benefits of white tea by reading our “white tea benefits” post by clicking on the right, as well as other sections on the site.
