My Malignant Melanoma

An article in last Friday's New Scientist may interest some of you. Though Green Tea has positive associations with heart health, and inhibits tumour growth in the lab, there is considerable evidence against it helping prevent cancer incidence or recurrence.

A new study shows that it is worse than that. Green tea actually completely inactivated a chemotherapy agent called velcade (bortezomib) in the lab. As the only place green tea has shown any effect on cancer is in the lab, and the dose required to produce the effect was one easily reached by using green tea supplements, this is a worrying result, which drives home the message: speak to your medical team about any supplements you might be thinking of taking
