Cancer Fighting

Cancer is the second most common cause of death in the United States.

Several test-tube studies have found that white tea may have anticancer effects.

In one test-tube study, white tea extract triggered cell death in several types of lung cancers.

Two more test-tube studies looked at the effects of white tea on colon cancer cells.

The studies discovered that white tea extract suppressed the growth of colon cancer cells and stopped them from spreading. The antioxidants in white tea extract also protected normal cells from damage by harmful molecules.

However, it’s worth noting that these test-tube studies used large amounts of white tea. More studies in humans are needed to understand the effects of drinking white tea on cancer.
