<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" color=#000080 size=2>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. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" color=#000080 size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>

Tim Clarke<BR>05Nov03<BR><BR>DRINKING green tea can dramatically reduce the
risk of<BR>men<BR>contracting prostate cancer, a study by
Australian<BR>researchers has<BR>discovered.<BR><BR>The study, by scientists
at Perth's Curtin University<BR>and Zhejiang<BR>Cancer Hospital in China,
discovered men who drink<BR>green tea daily<BR>have one-third the risk of
prostate cancer compared<BR>with non-tea<BR>drinkers,<BR>The habitual drinking
of the tea over many years can<BR>reduce the risk<BR>even more, according to
the study to be published in<BR>the<BR>International Journal of
Cancer.<BR><BR>Professor Colin Binns, from Curtin's school of
public<BR>health, led the<BR>Australian side of the study along with
researchers Dr<BR>Andy Lee and<BR>Le Jian.<BR><BR>Dr Lee said green tea was
the most prevalent in China,<BR>but black tea<BR>could be as
beneficial.<BR><BR>"In Australia the incidence of prostate cancer is
very<BR>high, but in<BR>China the incidence is very low. That is the
reason<BR>that we thought<BR>there is something these people do over there
that is<BR>different from<BR>here." Dr Lee said.<BR><BR>"We accounted for all
the other risk factors, such as<BR>smoking and<BR>alcohol, but even after all
that the effect of tea<BR>still stood out."<BR><BR>The study compared 130
Chinese men with prostate<BR>cancer with 274 men<BR>without the cancer, using
China because it has a<BR>larger population of<BR>people who drink only tea,
while Australian men tend<BR>to drink a<BR>variety of beverages.<BR><BR>Dr Lee
said the beneficial effects could also be<BR>enhanced because the<BR>Chinese
tend to drink their tea pure.<BR><BR>"Experimental findings show the
antioxidants in the<BR>green tea are<BR>slightly more than in other types," Dr
Lee said.<BR><BR>"Drinking the tea directly means that the tea will
not<BR>interact with<BR>other substances like milk and sugar."<BR><BR>Green
tea has long been valued by Chinese as a natural<BR>remedy, with<BR>powerful
antioxidants called catechins shown in<BR>studies to fight<BR>viruses and slow
aging.<BR><BR>Traditionally it has been used to improve digestion,<BR>boost
energy and<BR>help with liver detoxification, whilst also said to<BR>reduce
high blood<BR>pressure and lower blood sugar.<BR><BR>The findings of the
latest Curtin study followed a<BR>discovery by the<BR>same research team that
drinking green tea reduced the<BR>risk of<BR>ovarian cancer in
women.<BR><BR>Dr Lee said their studies have also recently shown<BR>that
drinking the<BR>tea may prevent the contraction of ovarian cancer as<BR>well
as helping<BR>those already suffering the disease.<BR><BR>"Early findings show
that the tea also enhances<BR>survival of those<BR>women with ovarian cancer,"
Dr Lee said.<BR><BR>This report appears on
news.com.au.<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>=====<BR>*****************************************************************<BR>"the
