Scientists have come up with yet more evidence of why tea is good for health - the drink can significantly reduce a woman's risk of developing ovarian cancer.
Previous research showed the tea also helps the heart, boosts the brain and lowers levels of"bad" cholesterol. Now, two studies have found that women women who drink two cups of black tea or one cup of green tea everyday could slash their risk of developing ovarian cancer by nearly half, the'Daily Express' reported.
The scientists have hailed the cancer-protecting properties of both teas which are packed with health-boosting antioxidants. One study at the University of Washington among 2,000 women, found those who drank one or more cups of green tea a day had a 54 per cent reduction in their chance of getting the cancer, which kills a number of women worldwide.
A second study by the National Institute of Environmental Medicine in Stockholm, also found that drinking at least two cups of black tea daily cut the risk of ovarian cancer by nearly 50 per cent.
