Is what we eat affecting our health?, a report today indicates that this is the case, and not more than a few grams of red meat a day can increase your chances of colon and bowel related cancer by twenty percent.

Colon Cancer has over 50% Fatality Rate

There are a staggering 363,000 new case of colorectal cancer every year, with an estimated 945,000 globally. More sobering is the fact that 492,000 deaths occur from this cancer each year, over 50% fatality rate.

But just last week, some giant news surfaced that revealed that humble Green Tea can stop colon cancer in its tracks.

The study, published in the journal “Carcinogenesis” just last week, came to the conclusion that we now have a means of treating and preventing colon cancer with staggering success potential.

Dr. Ala Issa from the University of South Carolina, who headed the research study said,

“Our results suggest that Green Tea specifically targets initial stages of colon carcinogenesis; the time of administration of green tea is pivotal for effective chemoprevention.”

“She went on however to say,

Green Tea beverage levels are not likely to inhibit the progress of any very large adenomas or “aden carcinomas” existing prior to the tea administration.”

The results add to an ever-growing body of science linking consumption of Green Tea to a wide range of health benefits, including lower risk of cancer, increased weight loss, improved heart health and protection against Alzheimer’s.
