The legendary cradle of tea is China. The first notes about tea consumption are dated more than four thousand years ago. Tea is a beverage made from Camellia sinensis leaves, however, there exists several types of tea and each is collected and prepared in a specific way. Green tea is obtained from leaves that are not subjected to the fermentation process and are dried immediately after collecting. Therefore, the leaves are un-oxidized and are the less processed with the exception for white tea. Although tea originates from China, nowadays it is commonly associated with other countries like India, Japan and Great Britain.
Minimal oxidation during processing results in a great amount of chemical substances that are associated with beneficial effect on human health. These substances are bioactive natural chemicals – polyphenols which act as antioxidants with simultaneous anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic effect. Majority of bio-active components are epicatechin, epicatechin-3-gallate, epigallocatechin as well as the most intensively studied polyphenolic compound and the most effective ingredient in elimination of free radicals – epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG).
Since several years scientist have been involved in studies on the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) protein which is an enzyme involved in metabolism of cancer cells. This enzyme is a key factor for maintaining proper level of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) needed for cancer cells glycolysis. LDH is a complex molecule consisting of two subunits (LDH-A and LDH-B) each encoded by specific genes. The ratio of LDH-A and LDH-B determines the direction of glycolysis either for reduction of pyruvate to lactate in order to recover NAD+ from NADH (more LDH-A) or the reverse reaction in the presence of higher amount of LDH-B. Moreover, the A form of lactate dehydrogenase participates in conversion of glucose to lactate during anaerobic respiration with sufficient oxygenated conditions (Wartburg effect). This enables tumor cells to convert stored glucose into lactate and to promote cell growth and proliferation instead of using glucose for energy production. In addition, decrease in activity of LDH-A has been associated with the inhibition of tumor cells development. Hence, the knockdown of LDH-A seems to be a promising step in prevention from carcinogenic cells replication during treatment of cancer.
Currently researches have been investigated the action of oxamate – an enzyme inhibitor that contributes to decrease in LDH-A activity and thus causing the disruption of cancer cells metabolic balance and function. A similar effect was observed for studies involving epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) – the active ingredient of green tea and green tea extracts. Using various techniques for metabolic pathway assay, scientists have compared the action of oxamate and biologically active green tea component against human pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells and how they down-regulate LDHA in HPAF-II pancreatic cancer cells. It was concluded that both compounds, oxamate and EGCG, have an impact on tumor cells metabolic function disruption and, therefore, might diminish the risk of cancer. According to Dr. Lee, this study presents an entirely new approach for cancer cells, spreading the light on understanding the disruption of carcinogenic cells and thus taking up effort to prevent cancer.
MD Wai-Nang Lee is leading researcher and author of a study about green tea components and carcinogenic cells at Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center (LA BioMed).

My name is Jessica Luis, and I base in USA...My life is back!!! After 1 years of Broken marriage, my husband left me with two kids . I felt like my life was about to end i almost committed suicide, i was emotionally down for a very long time. Thanks to a spell caster called Dr Mohammed, which i met online. On one faithful day, as I was browsing through the internet,I came across allot of testimonies about this particular spell caster. Some people testified that he brought their Ex lover back, some testified that he restores womb,cure cancer,and other sickness, some testified that he can cast a spell to stop divorce and so on. i also come across one particular testimony,it was about a woman called Sonia,she testified about how he brought back her Ex lover in less than 2 days, and at the end of her testimony she dropped Dr Mohammed's e-mail address. After reading all these,I decided to give it a try. I contacted him via email and explained my problem to him. In just 48hours, my husband came back to me. We solved our issues, and we are even happier than before Dr Mohammed, is really a gifted man and i will not stop publishing him because he is a wonderful man...

'After being in relationship with Wilson for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that don't believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I meant a spell caster called Dr Zuma zuk and I email him, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there.
