Potent Cancer Fighter Found at Your Grocery Store

Potent Cancer Fighter Found at Your Grocery Store

Green tea's cancer fighting ability has been well established in both animal models and human trials. One mechanism by which green tea fights cancer is by blocking the production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in our body. Doing so halts the growth of tumors – a welcomed benefit to cancer victims.

The cogency of these studies ignited the Division of Cancer Prevention at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to invite applications for grants to foster the identification of molecular targets from green tea. Rather than promote the unpatentable herb, these pharmaceutically compliant research houses are working toward developing a "copycat" molecule.

"We may be able to develop new anti-cancer drugs based on the structure of the EGCG molecule." - Professor Roger Thornely, John Innes Center in Norwich

A copycat molecule would afford patent rights to drug companies who refuse to sell proven natural products at inexpensive costs. They strive for monopolization - causing patients to trade wealth for health. Keep it simple, obtain green tea from your grocery store and drink it daily to ward off cancer.
