Drinking tea seems to lower odds of ovarian cancer, Australian research involving 1,000 women says.
Dada Su from Curtin University co-authored the study in China, involving 500 patients of ovarian carcinoma and the other half being unaffected, who completed a questionnaire about tea consumption. They drank a mixture of green, black and oolong tea.
Andy Lee, professor at the Curtin School of Public Health, who led the study, said a dose-response relationship has also been established.
"It's not just the duration of tea drinking but also quantity of tea and the frequency of intake as well."
