June 23/London/Daily Mail -- Benefits of drinking tea are plenty. The detox quality of tea is well known, but recently researchers have discovered that the beverage can also help prevent cancer. A new U.S. research has discovered you can cut the risks of developing cancer if you have a cup of the beverage daily, as tea helps shrink cancerous tumours. Tim Bond of the Tea Advisory Panel in the U.K. said, “The study has demonstrated that components present in the black tea can help shrink and kill cancer cells and/or result in helping to reduce the number of tumors.”
Previous research has already linked tea’s healthy antioxidant properties and high flavonoid content to cutting the risk of some cancers as well as heart disease. Now, a new study has shown that black tea (a type of tea that is more oxidized in comparison to Oolong, green, and white varieties) can stop cancerous cells from developing. Based on this finding the researchers recommend consuming tea daily.
