Green tea increases the risk of prostate cancer

A recent study has shown that, if you drink more than 7 cups of tea a day, men are at a higher risk of prostate cancer.

Experts tracked the health status of more than 6,000 men aged 21-75 for about 37 years. The results showed that men who drank more than 7 cups of tea per day had a 50% higher risk of prostate cancer than those who did not drink or drink less than 4 cups a day.

Participating in the test, volunteers completed a questionnaire about the amount of tea they drink each day, their drinking habits, coffee, smoking and general health status. In it, only one quarter of people are addicted to tea. Up to 6.4% showed signs of prostate cancer throughout the study, said Dr Kashif Shafique of Glasgow University.

Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer in Scotland and accounts for 7.4% of diagnosed cases between 2000 and 2010. Most previous studies suggest that green tea has anti-cancer benefits. cancer and no link to prostate cancer. However, with this test, experts confirmed that green tea increases the risk of prostate cancer in men with a high rate.

On the other hand, the results of the study also showed that tea drinkers are often not obese, do not drink much alcohol and have reasonable cholesterol levels. Thus, with a healthy lifestyle, a reasonable diet and appropriate dosage of tea, prostate cancer is no longer a concern for men.
