12 Potent ANTICANCER agents found in edible plants

January 30, 2024 -

Hallmark features of cancer include the ability to evade apoptosis (programmed cell death), induce angiogenesis (the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow), replicate limitlessly, produce growth signals that are self-sufficient, be insensitive to anti-growth signals, invade nearby tissue and metastasize (spread to another part of the body).

Fortunately, studies show that naturally occurring bioactive compounds from plants, also known as phytochemicals, ...

Study shows green and black tea can inactivate several COVID-19 subvariants

October 26, 2023 -

According to a recent study by Japanese scientists, three types of tea can quickly inactivate certain subvariants of omicron. Black tea, matcha and green tea (Japanese sencha) all boasted this helpful capability in tests.

Brush and floss

Brush and floss every day (and twice a day if possible) to reduce odorous bacteria in your mouth. Flossing removes bits of food caught between teeth, which can cause bacterial growth (and halitosis) when ignored. Replace your toothbrush every two to three months so the bristles do not weaken over time and clean your teeth less effectively. (Related: Prevent halitosis with good oral hygiene and these natural remedies.)

Green tea, zinc proving to be BETTER than hydroxychloroquine at fighting coronavirus infections

August 11, 2020 -

Green tea contains a unique polyphenol known as epigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG, that research shows is a powerful zinc ionophore, meaning it helps zinc get into cells. Conversely, zinc helps to make EGCG more bioavailable, meaning the two nutrients work hand in hand to enhance each other's therapeutic potential.

Zinc, as you may recall, is the nutrient that, taken alongside hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), a pharmaceutical zinc ionophore, is showing incredible ...

July 29, 2019 -

Researchers from the University of Southern California investigated the effects of two compounds, namely, epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and ferulic acid (FA), on mice that have been genetically modified to develop Alzheimer’s disease. EGCG is a compound found in green tea, while FA is found in foods like carrots, tomatoes, rice, wheat, and oats.

For their study, the researchers divided 32 genetically modified mice and an equal number of healthy mice ...

Compound found in green tea dissolves dangerous plaque found in blood vessels

June 27, 2018 -

Scientists already know that EGCG, or epigallocatechin-3-gallate, a compound found in green tea, can reduce the amyloid plaques in the brain that lead to Alzheimer’s disease. It turns out that this effect also carries over to blood vessels in general, and the life-saving potential of this discovery is huge.

When fatty material builds up within the arteries and reduces blood flow to the brain and heart, a protein known as apoA-1 causes further deposits to build ...

Green tea nutrients found to successfully treat scars when used in a cream

July 19, 2017 -

Scars are formed when the skin is injured and there is an overproduction of collagen which forms scar tissues. As these tissues heal, they release histamin which causes the injured area to become red and itchy. Most everyone knows not to scratch the inflamed area, as further damage to the area can deepen the scar. However, researchers of this study indicated that EGCG disrupted the skin’s natural response, effectively soothing the area and making the scar appear less ...

Can green tea and carrots restore working memory in dementia patients?

October 14, 2019 -

For the study, the researchers examined the effect of green tea and carrot compounds on mice with Alzheimer's-like symptoms. They specifically looked at two compounds: epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), which is found in green tea, and ferulic acid, which is found in carrots, oats, rice, tomatoes, and wheat.

They randomly divided the mice into four groups: One group received both EGCG and ferulic acid; two groups received either EGCG or ferulic ...
