According to recent reports from foreign news agencies, green tea and caffeine in green tea that we Easterners often drink may have the potential to fight skin cancer. Further research is expected.

According to a report in the latest issue of ProceedingsoftheNationalAcademyofSciences Science Journal, medical researchers at Rutgers University in the United States smeared an extract from green tea called EGCG and caffeine on the skin of nude mice that developed skin cancer induced by ultraviolet rays. After comparing the mice that did not apply the green tea substance, they found that the skin cancer condition of nude mice significantly improved and recovered after smearing caffeine and green tea extract EGCG.

Researchers do not know what reason is related to the inhibition of skin cancer, but previous studies have pointed out that EGCG of green tea is a natural substance that inhibits neovascularization and is known to have an inhibitory effect on many kinds of cancer cells, but EGCG has not been developed by pharmaceutical companies as a formal anti-cancer drug. However, many manufacturers of vitamin supplements and cosmetics make them into a variety of oral health foods and cosmetic care products, claiming a variety of anti-aging and anti-cancer effects, which have been popular in the market in recent years.

The researchers at Rutgers University in the United States, who led the study, do not know whether oral green tea and caffeine have the same inhibitory effect on skin cancer, but they say that it theoretically supports the potential of green tea extract to inhibit or prevent cancer cells to some extent.

At present, products containing green tea extracts have become very popular in the market, from oral products to a variety of anti-aging care products for external use, as well as grapes and other products that are very popular in recent years. the market for natural anti-cancer products has become a trend for manufacturers all over the world to make every effort to develop.
