A spokesman for the Islamic Consultative Assembly’s health commission said: Drinking a cup of black tea a day shrinks and kills cancer cells and can help reduce the risk of cancer.
On the occasion of Pharmacy Day, Hassan Tamini announced the properties of herbal medicines and said: Tea has long been thought to reduce the risk of stomach, colon (part of the colon) and breast cancer. Of course, such a connection has not been proven yet, but today laboratory studies It has been shown that black tea can prevent the growth of cancer.
Researchers at Rutgers University have shown that a compound called TF-2 in black tea causes colorectal cancer cells to commit suicide, but that the compound has no effect on healthy cells.
He said: Black tea, which is the most widely used tea in the Western world, is in fact the green tea that dries its leaves more, and this causes its taste and color to change.
As black tea is further fermented and oxidized, its leaves also darken and it retains its famous aroma.
A spokesman for the parliamentary health commission added: As soon as the taste and aroma of tea have improved to the required level, they stop the oxidation process, after which the leaves are crushed into different sizes and sorted according to their size.
Green or black tea is full of antioxidants, he said. Green or black teas can fight and kill harmful molecules that accumulate in the body.

He added: In the second study, Indian researchers examined the effect of polyphenols in black and green tea on breast cancer in female mice.
In these studies, it was found that both teas significantly reduced the number of breast tumors by 77% and 92%, respectively, and also reduced the growth of these tumors.
The components in black tea can help shrink and kill cancer cells or reduce the number of tumors, he said.
At the end of the findings, the spokesman of the parliamentary health commission said that the need for clinical studies is effective and said: To evaluate the effect of green tea and its components on cancer risk in humans, I emphasize that to determine the clinical applications of green tea components to studies. New is needed.
