Green Tea And The Latest In Skin Care And Promising Cancer Treatments

With all the latest research and developments into skin care it has recently been found that Green tea actually has more to offer than originally thought. In research conducted in Thailand by Dr. Ptong of the Skin Education Foundation it was evidenced that Green tea when taken orally or applied externally had a marked effect on the skin in relation to cancer and carcinogens.
From basal cell carcinoms (the mildest and most common form of skin cancer) to malignant melanoma and its variants (the deadliest and fastest spreading form) all were shown to be effected by the green tea polyphenols. The polyphenols of green tea showed the ability to actually prohibit and retard the growth of various skin cancers. Ptong elucidated that it was the green teas antioxidants, commonly referred to as green tea polyphenols (GTP), that caused this new functionality.
It is important to note that they have now found identical results with human research. In one study it was shown that the the resultant damage that normally occurs from excessive UV radiation did not happen to skin pre treated with a GTP salve. This resulted in a much lower chance of growths and cancer developing. This resulted in a much lower rate of mutations afterwards.

This resulted in a much lower rate of mutations afterwards. This resulted in a much lower rate of mutations afterwards. This resulted in a much lower rate of mutations afterwards. In animal studies where the skin was treated with various carcinogens and chemicals or radiation with mutagenic properties it was found that skin treated prior with a rub or salve of the polyphenols had a much lower rate of mutations afterwards.
"Every area we tested the polyphenols we made significant discoveries and every time it was very positive. The polyphenols extracted from green tea are extremely active against all types of cancer in this study," Stated Dr. Ptong.
It was also found that, along with external application, oral use of the green tea and polyphenols reduced the risk of cancer and other similar maladies.
