Green tea may help explain 'Asian paradox'

Could beverage be responsible for lower cancer rate, better heart health?

NEW YORK - While smoking is a well-known cause of heart disease and lung cancer, the rates of these diseases have remained inexplicably low in Asian countries where smoking is common. But researchers say there is growing evidence that green tea is one piece of the puzzle.

Writing in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons, Yale University researchers detail the body of evidence linking green tea to better heart health and a lower risk of cancer.

No one is suggesting that smokers ignore the danger of the habit and simply drink green tea. But research indicates that the teafs high concentration of antioxidants called catechins may offer a range of health benefits, according to Dr. Bauer E. Sumpio and his colleagues at the Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, Conn.

Antioxidants help quench molecules known as oxygen free radicals that, in excess, can damage body cells and potentially lead to disease. Free radicals are natural byproducts of normal body processes, but they are also generated by external sources like tobacco smoke.

Common social custom
In Japan, China and other Asian countries, it is a social custom to drink green tea, which is less processed — and richer in catechins — than the black tea commonly consumed in the West.

And itfs possible that this habit helps explain the so-called gAsian paradox,h according to Sumpio and his colleagues.

This paradox becomes clear when looking at global health statistics, the researchers note. For example, for every 100,000 U.S. men, 348 will die of coronary heart disease each year. The figure for Japanese men is 186, despite the nationfs higher rate of smoking.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) develops when the arteries feeding the heart become hardened and narrowed due to the buildup of cholesterol-containing plaques on the artery walls. According to Sumpiofs team, lab research suggests that that green tea catechins — particularly one called EGCG — may help thwart the CHD process through their effects on gbadh LDL cholesterol.


The antioxidants may also help keep artery walls functioning smoothly, as well as inhibit blood cells from sticking together and forming clots.

Similarly, lab studies suggest that EGCG and other green tea antioxidants may block tumor formation or growth in a number of ways. This may, according to the researchers, help explain why the lung cancer death rate in Korea is unexpectedly low.

The rate of lung cancer death among Korean men is less than 40 per 100,000, versus 67 per 100,000 among U.S. men. The difference among women is more stark: 13 per 100,000 in Korea, compared with 45 per 100,000 in the U.S.

This is despite the fact that 37 percent of Korean adults smoke, while only 27 percent of Americans do.

The global disease patterns are not that simple, however; China has a higher CHD death rate than the U.S. and many other Western nations, and the rate of death from lung cancer is about the same among Japanese and American men. Green tea, according to Sumpio, is no substitute for kicking the smoking habit.

gSmoking cessation is the best way to prevent cardiovascular disease and cancer,h he said in a statement.

I really think that article says a lot about Green Tea and it has anti-oxidants. :applaud:

Also, according to some information that i got off a green tea box i got, Green tea has the lowest amount of caffeine per 12 ounce serving in comparison to Oolong, Black teas, and coffee, In addition, it has no major source of Fat, Carbohydrate, Cholosterol, Calcium, and Iron. Also, i do believe that Green Tea offers more healthy benefits on consumption, that were not already mentioned. :applaud:

hehe...i'm sure it has it's healthy qualities as well...i mean it's made from the powder of green tea leaves so the antioxidants should still be present....i just don't know if the way it's made/processed diminishes the antioxidant values.

GAH! I have this random yellow line on my monitor and it won't go away. It just appeared a few minutes ago when I was watching SOS. Turning the compy off and on didn't make it go away. Does anyone know what caused it? And how I can fix it?

sounds like a bad monitor ribbon... $200'ish to install.

it probably doesn't have the beneficial factor that the basic tea's have, in comparison to having say...green tea icecream, since it maybe processed quite differently.

straight from the can/tea bag, can have the direct potentcy of anti-oxidants. :applaud:
