Researchers at St. Louis University in Missouri tested extracts of various teas against several types of breast cancer cells.
Researchers included extracts from green, oolong, black, and other dark teas. The results indicated that green and oolong teas could stop the growth of breast cancer cells; the two types of tea worked equally well against all the cell lines tested. Black and other dark teas had no effect.
“From our results, oolong tea, much like green tea, plays a role in inhibiting breast cancer cell growth, proliferation, and tumor progression,”
Also noted that oolong, like green tea, can confer additional benefits to regular drinkers, such as lowering cholesterol, abdominal fat, and it may even offer protection against other types of cancer.
