Green Tea And The Latest In Skin Care And Promising Cancer Treatments

by: David Maillie

With all the latest research and developments into skin care it has recently been found that Green tea actually has more to offer than originally thought. Green tea could be the newest anti cancer wonder treatment. In research conducted in Thailand by Dr. Ptong of the Skin Education Foundation it was evidenced that Greentea when taken orally or applied externally had a marked effect on the skin in relation to cance and carcinogens.

Ptong elucidated that it was the green teas antioxidants, commonly referred to as green tea polyphenols (GTP), that caused this new functionality. The polyphenols of green tea showed the ability to actually prohibit and retard the growth of various skin cancers. From basal cell carcinoms (the mildest and most common form of skin cancr) to malignant melanoma and its variants (the deadliest and fastest spreading form) all were shown to be effected by the greentea polyphenols.

In animal studies where the skin was treated with various carcinogens and chemicals or radiation with mutagenic properties it was found that skin treated prior with a rub or salve of the polyphenols had a much lower rate of mutations afterwards. This resulted in a much lower chance of growths and cancer developing. In one study it was shown that the the resultant damage that normally occurs from excessive UV radiation did not happen to skin pre treated with a GTP salve. It is important to note that they have now found identical results with human research.

“Every area we tested the polyphenols we made significant discoveries and every time it was very positive. The polyphenols extracted from green tea are extremely active against all types of cance in this study,” Stated Dr. Ptong.

It was also found that, along with external application, oral use of the greentea and polyphenols reduced the risk of developing skin cancer more than in half in over 1000 patients. In another test, patients with malignant melanoma were given green tea to drink and after one month it was found that the growth rate of the cancr slowed tremendously. It was found that hot, green tea contained the highest concentration of the beneficial polyphenols. From these studies one can easily surmise that green tea shows great promise in skin care and in treating and reducing the risk of cancer and other similar maladies. Just from these studies it is enough to conclude that Green tea should be made a part of the daily regimen for optimum health.
