Men who often drank two cups of tea a day can reduce the risk of prostate cancer by up to 37 percent, according to recent research.
However, prostate cancer risk reduction will not be felt if a man drinks consumed is coffee. It was presented by researchers from Maastricht University in the Netherlands.
Unfortunately, there are studies that counter with this. Is a study last year from Glasgow University who mentions tea lovers who spent seven cups a day instead of high-risk prostate cancer.
Apart from last year's study, a team of experts from Maastricht University involving 892 men proves that tea drinkers were able to distance himself from prostate cancer. Especially if he diligently drinking two or three cups of tea a day.
As reported by the Daily Mail, tea is not actually prevent prostate cancer directly. However, compounds called phytochemicals in tea is efficacious to protect organs from attack triggers tumor cells.
Another study in the year 2010 also states that women who drink a cup of tea every day can reduce the risk of ovarian cancer by 10 percent.
The results of the Maastricht University was then reported in Cancer Causes Control.
