Matcha Green Tea Powder

Medical studies centering around Matcha Green Tea Powder’s natural ability to aid in the fight against cancer have been numerous.  It is just recently, however, that these findings have made the forefront to the public’s awareness and to the mainstream physicians.  Studies conducted across all types of cancer and all across the universal medical world have been quite promising.

One such study was reported at the Sixth International Conference on Frontiers in Cancer Prevention and was backed by the American Association for Cancer Research.  In testing rats, it showed how the Polyphenols in the green tea blocked and limited the growth of colorectal tumors.  The rats that were fed a diet containing Polyphenon were less than half  likely to develop colon cancer.

Drinking  Matcha Green Tea Powder also could drastically reduce the effect of smoking on lung cancer and findings were presented at the AACR-IASLC Joint Conference on Molecular Origins of Lung Cancer earlier this year.  Because the green tea contain very strong natural antioxidants, drinking it seemed to inhibit activity against tumorigenesis.  In comparing smokers and non-smokers, those that didn’t consume the green tea had over a five fold increase of lung cancer compared with  those who did drink at least one cup per day.  This protection against the lung cancer is strongest among those people carrying specific genes known as IGF1.

Researchers from Boston University Schools of Medicine and Public Health also have shown that the compounds found in Matcha Green Tea Powder and in other green teas display protection against breast cancer.  Using two groups of female rats, they found those rats given the green tea instead of just water develped tumors much later.  But, more importantly, they also had a 70% reduction in tumor weight  and malignancy compared to the water drinking rats.  The Polyphenols in matcha tea are not only powerful antioxidants, but they neutralize disease causing free radicals which can damage cells and lead to cancer, heart disease and a number of other known diseases.
