Tea consumption prevents common skin cancers

Tea consumption prevents common skin cancers

New research shows that people who get rid of daily fatigue with a cup of tea every night are less likely to get the two most common types of skin cancer.

In a study of approximately 2,200 adults, the researchers found that people who drank tea were significantly less likely to develop scaly cell skin cells or skin stem cells, two of the most common types of skin cancer.

The results showed that men and women who drank a cup or more of tea a day were about 20 to 30 percent less likely to develop these two types of cancer.

In addition, this effect is much stronger for people who like to drink tea and have been accustomed to consuming this drink for more than a few decades.

However, the results of this study do not mean that drinking tea no longer eliminates the need for skin care in the sun.
