another aspect of the same subject. many people who eat a lot of soy products in their diet do not know that soy requires a lot of zinc in its metabolism. the soy industry isn't too forthcoming about this issue either. zinc is an essential component of semen and is essential to healthy prostate functioning.

guys: if you eat soy, make sure you're getting zinc supplements. for guys to be sure you get adequate zinc is a good idea on GP. the ladies don't have to be too concerned about this issue. lucky ladies. you have other things to worry about.

yours in good health ;-)

Green tea 'cuts prostate cancer risk'

By Tim Clarke

05Nov03

DRINKING green tea can dramatically reduce the risk of

men

contracting prostate cancer, a study by Australian

researchers has

discovered.

The study, by scientists at Perth's Curtin University

and Zhejiang

Cancer Hospital in China, discovered men who drink

green tea daily

have one-third the risk of prostate cancer compared

with non-tea

drinkers,

The habitual drinking of the tea over many years can

reduce the risk

even more, according to the study to be published in

the

International Journal of Cancer.

Professor Colin Binns, from Curtin's school of public

health, led the

Australian side of the study along with researchers Dr

Andy Lee and

Le Jian.

Dr Lee said green tea was the most prevalent in China,

but black tea

could be as beneficial.

"In Australia the incidence of prostate cancer is very

high, but in

China the incidence is very low. That is the reason

that we thought

there is something these people do over there that is

different from

here." Dr Lee said.

"We accounted for all the other risk factors, such as

smoking and

alcohol, but even after all that the effect of tea

still stood out."

The study compared 130 Chinese men with prostate

cancer with 274 men

without the cancer, using China because it has a

larger population of

people who drink only tea, while Australian men tend

to drink a

variety of beverages.

Dr Lee said the beneficial effects could also be

enhanced because the

Chinese tend to drink their tea pure.

"Experimental findings show the antioxidants in the

green tea are

slightly more than in other types," Dr Lee said.

"Drinking the tea directly means that the tea will not

interact with

other substances like milk and sugar."

Green tea has long been valued by Chinese as a natural

remedy, with

powerful antioxidants called catechins shown in

studies to fight

viruses and slow aging.

Traditionally it has been used to improve digestion,

boost energy and

help with liver detoxification, whilst also said to

reduce high blood

pressure and lower blood sugar.

The findings of the latest Curtin study followed a

discovery by the

same research team that drinking green tea reduced the

risk of

ovarian cancer in women.

Dr Lee said their studies have also recently shown

that drinking the

tea may prevent the contraction of ovarian cancer as

well as helping

those already suffering the disease.

"Early findings show that the tea also enhances

survival of those

women with ovarian cancer," Dr Lee said.
