Mushrooms And Green Tea Reduce Breast Cancer Risk

Scientists found that women eating at least a third ounce of fresh mushrooms every day were 64 per cent less likely to develop breast cancer.
The study, carried out in China, also showed women who combined a mushroom diet with drinking green tea regularly saw an even greater benefit.
The risk among women in this group was reduced by almost 90 per cent.

These findings were published in the International Journal of Cancer.

Mushroom have anti cancer properties and can stimulate the immune system defences.

Some evidence suggests mushrooms act in a similar fashion to breast cancer drugs called aromatose inhibitors that block the body’s production of the hormone estrogen, which can encourage the development of cancer.
