    One of the most important discoveries resulting from the many years of cancer research is the indication that there may be several natural ways to prevent cancer. Learning how we might prevent cancer could be the most important tool in eradicating this disease. Determining cancer prevention techniques has been difficult in many cases, because we dontmt know what causes many types of cancer. However, there are many forms of cancer that are partly, or completely, preventable. For example, we know that the vast majority of those who suffer from lung cancer are smokers. And, a large percentage of skin cancer is caused by over exposure to the sun and lack of sun protection. If we can further our research and learn the causes of more types of cancer, then we will be well on our way to preventing many incidences of this disease. There have been some promising findings,

    and it appears that one thing that we can do to prevent many different types of cancer is drink green tea. Researchers began looking at green teatms properties because of the vast differences in health concerns between Asian cultures and our own. While more Asians than Americans are smokers, they have a far lower incidence of heart disease and lung cancer the two diseases most likely to affect smokers. In addition, Asians have a lower incidence of cancer, heart disease and stroke over all than Americans. And, Asians drink, on average, four cups of green tea each day. There is very promising news about the possibilities that green tea can help prevent disease. Green tea is loaded with some of the most powerful anti-oxidants around, and we know that anti-oxidants are one of the most important keys to preventing cancer and many other diseases that plague us. Anti- oxidants are important because they combat free radicals in our bodies. These free radicals are created as a by product of converting the food we eat to energy. If they are not kept in check, they wreak havoc on our bodies by damaging our cells and DNA. This leads to faster aging and a higher risk of many diseases, including cancer, heart disease and stroke. They even make us look older. So, to prevent your risk of disease, doctors recommend that you have a diet high in anti-oxidants. And, not all anti-oxidants are created equal. Ittms helpful to eat the foods that contain the most potent anti-oxidants. This includes pomegranates, tomatoes and blueberries. And, it also includes drinking green tea each day. There have been many studies that link green tea with cancer prevention. One of the most interesting articles available on the subject was published

    by the University Hospitals of Cleveland. This article outlines in detail the findings of many studies that lead to the conclusion that green tea is effective at preventing many forms of cancer. Green tea has been shown to be effective at protecting against many types of cancers when it becomes part of everyday life. It has shown promise in preventing colon cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer and stomach cancer. Most of these studies have been conducted on mice in laboratories or in vitro. And while, to be sure, we need to test the findings on humans, the indications are promising. And, to date, several human trials have begun. Of course, in the case of proving that green tea can prevent cancer, studies on humans would need to last for years to be conclusive. There have also been some studies that indicate that green tea may even be effective at treating patients who already have cancer. Several studies have shown th at traditional chemotherapy drugs were more effective when the patient was consuming green tea regularly during the months receiving treatment. In addition to studies that indicate green teatms effectiveness in preventing cancer when added to the diet, there is also indication that it may be effective at preventing and treating skin cancer when applied topically. Several studies have been conducted that have led to more research to be done on humans. Ittms highly likely that youtmll see green tea extract added to your favorite sunscreen and skin care products in the future. Green tea holds such wonderful possibilities, in part because it has no side effects. Even if green tea proves not to be effective at preventing or treating cancer, it is healthy and you can consume

    as much as you want without fear. Another reason that green tea could hold so much promise is that ittms inexpensive. Adding green tea to your diet is a simple and cost effective way to protect your health. It is widely available and affordable to the masses. So, drink up! Green tea is good for you we know that. And, ittms likely that ittms even better for you than you imagined. A cup or two of green tea each day may be the key to protecting your health for years to come!

    Many people who have recently tasted white licorice tea for the first time find themselves frustrated when it comes to finding this delicious white tea blend. Like other white teas, white licorice tea is rare and can only be found in a few tea shops. However, if you know where to look, you can find fine white licorice tea as well as other rare white teas. White tea comes from the same plant as other teas, but it is harvested much earlier than other teas, before the leaves are fully open. White tea is harvested just once each year, while green and black tea is harvested several times during the growing season. In addition, there are fewer white tea plants being cultivated. These two differences in white tea harvesting are the reason it is so much rarer than other teas.

    However, it is this once a year harvesting that makes white tea so special. The tea is harvested while the buds are still closed and covered by fine white hair. This white hair is where white tea gets its name. The early harvest ensures a sweet and mild flavor along with a pale color. Once the white tea leaves are plucked, they must be processed. This is done differently than with black tea, too. While black tea is fermented during processing, white tea is simply dried and then either steamed or fired. This minimal processing ensures that the tea retains its natural anti-oxidants, making it a very healthy beverage to drink. In addition, the minimal processing contributes to the delicate flavor of the white tea. Once processed, white licorice tea will have star anise added to give it that sweet and distinct flavor that only licorice can provide. Only a few tea processors add licorice flavor to their white tea, making white licorice tea one of the rar est in the world. Of the few who do, many use licorice root rather than star anise for the licorice flavor. However, using star anise provides a much milder, yet richer flavor to the tea. For those who are unable to find white licorice tea in their local tea shop, ordering online is the answer. And even many people who have access to white licorice and other rare teas find that ordering their tea online is preferable, because it gives them access to a wider variety of tea and gives them a better value. Every retail market has been impacted by the Internet and online ordering.

    84% of Americans say that they have shopped online at least once and 60% of Americans shop online regularly. Online shopping gives the shopper access to a much wider assortment of products and makes it much easier and faster to shop comparatively. Plus, when you shop online, you never have to leave your home. The wide access to products and retailers is particularly important when youre shopping for something rare like white licorice tea. Every tea drinker should have at least one online tea shop that they favor to provide them with their favorite teas and accessories. The biggest downside to shopping for tea online is that you cant taste the tea before you buy. When shopping at your local tea merchant, youll find that theyre typically happy to let you sample any tea before you buy it. To overcome this disadvantage, its important that you choose an online tea company that offers a money back guarantee. This way, if you order something that you find to be of inferior quality or you simply dont like it, youre protected. The best online tea retailers are happy to offer these guarantees because they believe in their products and because they want their customers to be happy. In addition, many online tea shops offer sample packages. These packages include small amounts of several teas. Its a great way to try teas just as you would in a local tea shop without spending a lot of money. Once youve identified your favorites, you can buy them in bulk to save money. Another issue that makes some people wary of shopping online is credit

    card security. Weve all known someone whose credit card information was stolen via the internet. However, there is plenty of software available to online retailers to help them secure their sites so that your credit card and other private information cannot be stolen. When youre choosing an online retailer for your tea purchases, be certain that they offer secure online checkout. There are many tea shops online, but not as many that carry white licorice tea. Luckily, the Internet search engines make it easy to identify the stores that carry the products youre looking for. Once youve identified the retailers who carry white licorice tea, narrow down your choice by the other things mentioned here like money back guarantees and secure ordering. Also check the reputation of your prospective tea vendor. Most will have customer reviews of their teas online. This helps you feel comfortable that the tea will be of good quality and have good flavor. It may tak e a little work to find the best white licorice tea. But, when you smell that fragrance and taste the sweet and delicate flavor, it will be worth every bit of the effort.

    Today, cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States and its incidence has risen dramatically over the last 50 years. This leads scientists to the conclusion that our lifestyle and environment must play an important role in whether or not we develop cancer. There is still much more to learn about the factors that influence cancer development, but in the meantime, we should take to heart the things that we know cause cancer, and those that we believe can prevent it. Here are some things you can do to reduce your risk. The first is eating a healthy diet, rich in fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables are rich in anti-oxidants, which can prevent cancer and other diseases. Anti-oxidants are very effective at combating free radicals that are created in our bodies as we process food. We cant stop these free radicals

    from occurring, but we can combat them with anti-oxidants. If we dont combat them they cause damage to our cells and DNA, and this is what leads to premature aging and disease. If you want to significantly increase the anti-oxidant level in your diet, pay special attention to the foods that can give you the most value. Get your fair share of artichokes, red beans, blueberries, pomegranates, tomatoes and green tea. Yes, thats right green tea. In fact, in terms of dietary changes to help prevent cancer, green tea may be the very best thing you can add to your diet. There has been much research in recent years on the effects green tea has in preventing, and even treating cancer. Many studies have shown that green teas anti-oxidant power can be a powerful preventative against cancer. Not only is this suggested by the significantly lower cancer rate in Asian countries where green tea is widely consumed, but many studies have supported this theory. In 1999, the Alternative Medicine Review reported that green tea appears to affect cancer in many ways. First, it is a powerful free radical scavenger, and destroys more free radicals than many other forms of anti-oxidants. Secondly, green tea seems to have the power to inhibit the growth of abnormal cells, many of which might have started as, or turned into cancer cells. Green tea also appears to be a very strong detoxifying agent, helping to rid the body of potentially harmful substances. Finally, the Alternative Medicine Review reported that green tea inhibits the growth of cancer cells. Therefore, even in patients who have already been diagnosed with cancer, green tea may be helpful, because it may prevent the cancer from spreading.

    Other studies have also shown that green tea can be an effective adjunct therapy for cancer, not only because it appears to inhibit the spread of cancer, but also because it makes traditional therapies more effective. One study showed that when mice were given green tea in conjunction with chemotherapy, the chemotherapy drugs invaded the cancer cells in higher concentration than when the chemotherapy was administered alone. Another recent study of breast cancer patients in stages one and two showed a significantly lower rate of cancer recurrence when the patients were given large doses of green tea. Making Green Tea Part of Your Life If youd like to add green tea to your diet for its health effects, many doctors recommend that you start with about three cups per day. Experiment with the many flavors of green tea that are on the market, or stick with the traditional green tea so popular in Asian restaurants. Either will have the health benefits hot or iced. While most American doctors recommend that you begin with 3 cups of green tea per day, you should know that in Asian cultures most people drink significantly more than that. The average in China is 4-5 cups a day, and in Japan its estimated to be as high as 8-10 cups per day. If you dont think you can manage that much tea in a day, there are green tea extract supplements available at many drug stores and health food stores. One of the great things about using green tea as a preventative treatment is that there are no side effects. Green tea is healthy and safe even to give to your children. Green tea has significantly less caffeine that coffee and even has less caffeine that traditional black tea. So, its well tolerated

    by nearly everyone. In addition to research showing that green tea helps prevent cancer, there is also evidence to suggest that it reduces your risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure and Alzheimers disease. It is also thought to slow down the overall aging process. So, what do you have to lose? It seems there is no downside to drinking green tea and there may be a great many benefits.

    White tea is fast becoming a very popular drink in the Western world. Once consumed only in China and Japan, and only for the most elegant of occasions, white tea is now being consumed as an everyday beverage for people all over the world. White tea is special because of its very light and delicate flavor and fragrance. Its far milder and less astringent than black teas, and lacks the grassy flavor of many green teas. In addition, white tea has all the health benefits of green tea, and possibly even more benefits. Like black and green tea, white tea comes from the camellia sinensis plant. But, white teas are harvested much earlier than other teas, before the leaves are fully open and while they retain fine white hair on the buds. White tea is also processed differently than black and green teas, in that it receives the virtually

    no processing. The leaves are simply dried and steamed. The steaming prevents the leaves from oxidizing, protecting the delicate flavor and helping the tea leaves retain their natural anti-oxidants. These potent anti-oxidants have been shown to slow down the aging process and prevent serious illnesses like cancer and heart disease. The catechins in green and white tea have been shown to help speed up the metabolism and oxidize fat, promoting weight loss. In addition, white tea in particular seems to improve the immune system, helping your body fight off bacteria and viruses. Like other teas, white tea is high in fluoride, so it helps keep your teeth healthy, too. One of the finest white teas available is a blend called white Persian melon tea. This tea blends the finest white tea with melon nectar for a refreshing and fruity taste. Not only does the addition of melon enhance the flavor of the white tea, but it enhances the health benefits, too. Melons are also a potent source of anti-oxidants. Melons contain lycopene, vitamins A and C, beta carotene, and potassium. They also contain an anti-oxidant called GliSODdin, which has the power to eradicate some of the most destructive free radicals in the body. In addition, GliSODin stimulates our bodies to produce its own anti-oxidants, and has been clinically proven to help maintain cellular health and protect against oxidative damage in several studies. These anti-oxidants produced by our bodies are far more powerful at neutralizing free radicals than the anti-oxidants we consume through diet. So, now that Ive convinced you that white Persian melon tea is a beverage you simply must add to your diet, youre probably

    wondering the best way to drink it. First, its important to begin with high quality loose tea. White tea is the rarest of all teas, which also means that its the most expensive. However, even the finest white tea is affordable, costing less per cup than most sodas and gourmet coffees. Choose your tea from a reputable tea purveyor to ensure that youre getting only the best tea. White tea is less compact than other loose teas, so you will need more per cup than with many other loose teas. Next, its important to use fresh cold water anytime you brew tea. Put the water in a clean tea kettle and bring it to a boil on the stove. Put hot tap water in your teapot to warm it up while the water is heating. Once the water boils, remove the tap water from your pot and add your tea leaves. Use about 2 teaspoons per cup for white Persian melon tea. Let the water sit for a minute or two before pouring it over the tea leaves. This assures you that the water has coole d to between 170-185 F, the perfect temperature for brewing white teas. Steep your white Persian melon tea for about 5-8 minutes, depending on your tastes. The tea will be pale with a golden color. Expect a sweet and fruity flavor with just a hint of smokiness. You should be able to get at least two infusions from high quality white Persian melon tea. On those warm summer days, youll find no better tea blends for iced tea than white Persian melon. The melon flavor, somewhere between the taste of honeydew and the taste of cantaloupe, is very reminiscent of summer and very refreshing. To make iced tea, simply brew several servings of tea at once and allow to cool. Since white tea is so delicate in flavor,

    its not wise to make white tea and then pour it over ice while hot. Doing so may dilute the flavor of the tea to a point that it tastes too weak. Instead, allow the pitcher of tea to cool before serving. This keeps the original flavor of the tea by not allowing the ice to dilute it too much. You can also use your white Persian melon tea for cooking. In fact, one of the best ways to poach fish is in white tea rather than water. Make about 2 cups of white Persian melon tea. Add other seasonings, such as lemon, salt and pepper as desired to the tea. Sear the fish fillets slightly in a pan on top of the stove. When seared, add the seasoned white tea and allow the fish to cook until done. Try salmon, sea bass or tilapia with this recipe for a mild and delicious fish dish. Experiment and youll likely find many other ways to use white Persian melon tea, both for drinking and for cooking. Youll soon find out why this delicate white tea is one of the most high ly prized in all the world.
