Green Tea and Prostate Cancer

I've been hearing talk about the benefits of green tea for some time. Now there's results. It may well decrease levels of compounds linked to this male cancer. However don't get too excited.. the study was of just 26 men and the green tea was in a concentrated form. Here's the facts.

A concentrated extract consumed daily for an average of 34 days was associated with significant reductions in the blood levels of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and prostate specific antigen (PSA), say the new results from Louisiana State University (LSU).
