After water, tea signifies the second most frequently consumed
beverage world-wide. Teas are not all the same; among the many
areas of research that are included in this book are the effects of
selenium-containing green tea on food consumption and body weight
gain. Research shows that tea consumption may have its strongest
effect among patients with cardiovascular disease. A specific
chapter investigates whether green tea intake can reduce the risk
of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Research is presented to
show that green tea and its major constituent epigallocatechin
gallate (EGCG) have a potential chemopreventative and/or treatment
for a variety of diseases including breast cancer. Other research
sheds new light on the molecular basis for the cancer-preventive
activity of EGCG in vivo and helps in the design of new strategies
to prevent cancer. A further study presents an analysis assessing
the progress of research on the mechanisms pertaining to how
telomerase activity is regulated by green tea in cancer cells.
Further chapters look at the relationship of tea to diabetes and a
description of the beneficial effects of green tea catechins on
neuronal functions and neuronal diseases such as dementia. To
improve biological functions and industrial applicability of green
tea and its by-products, research is presented showing irradiation
as a useful method.
