"Have a Dry Mouth? Study Says Green Tea May Help" A very interesting article.
http://pain.health.ivillage.com/news...teamayhelp.cfm Quote: "We suspected that green tea would suppress the inflammatory response of this disease," Dr. Stephen Hsu, the study's lead author, said in a press release. "Those treated with the green tea extract beginning at three weeks, showed significantly less damage to those glands over time." The researchers found that a plant chemical in green tea called epigallocatechin-3gallate (or EGCG) appears to inhibit the autoimmune response and suppress inflammation. According to researchers, EGCG may cause the body's defense system to block TNF-alpha, a group of proteins and molecules produced by white blood cells that. TNF-alpha plays a role in cell destruction. End Quote |
