Green Tea Halts Cancer-cell Growth in Lab
[05/18/99; Your Health Daily]
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Green tea may protect people from colon cancer,
according to results of study presented here Monday at the Digestive
Disease Week meetings. A major component of green tea, a chemical
called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), has been shown in past
animal experiments to protect the body against cancer. Dr. D.P.
Chauhan of the University of California at San Diego and his
colleagues treated human colon cancer cells with various concentrations
of EGCG for 24 to 72 hours. They found that EGCG stopped growth
of the cells after the 48-hour and 72-hour treatments. Furthermore,
the cell death continued 10 days after the 72-hour treatment
- that is, 10 days after the cells had last been exposed to EGCG.
