Drinking Tea May Help Cut Ovarian Cancer Risk

Drinking tea may help women cut ovarian cancer risk, says a study by Swedish researchers that finds more health benefits of tea.
Earlier research has shown tea helps to protect against several type of cancer and boosts memory.
Now researchers led by Susanna Larsson at Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, found that at least two cups the risk of ovarian cancer by 46 percent because of its antioxidants content, and reported the online edition of BBC News.
The women were followed up until December 2004 to see if they got cancer. The researchers questioned 61,057 women aged 40 to 76 about their eating and drinking habits between 1987 and 1990.
The research revealed that 68 percent of women reported drinking tea - mainly black tea- at least once a month. During the study, a total of 301 women were diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
Researchers said they saw a 46 percent lower risk of ovarian cancer in women who drank two or more cups of tea per day compared with those who didn't drink tea.
Women who drink one cup[ of tea a day had a 24 percent reduced risk, while those having less than one cup had 18 percent less risk.
The study is the first to specifically examine the relationship between the consumption and ovarian cancer risk, it said.
The Archives of Internal Medicine study said more research was needed, and British experts added there was still no proof of the benefits.
However, Larsson said: "In summary, our results from a large population -based cohort of Swedish women suggest that tea consumption may lower the risk of ovarian cancer."
