A new research has  been carry out by a Scientists at Penn State University, in the US, say's that green tea has been found and use to k!ll mouth cancer cells while leaving healthy cells undamaged.

While it was known the drink could help fight the disease, scientists also say that they have now worked out why.

This breakthrough involved identifying the process by which the substance attacks cancer cells.
This, it is hoped, will lead to new treatments for oral cancer, as well as other forms of the disease.


The Scientists also  explored the specific mechanism by which the green tea compound is able to target the diseased cells.

Earlier studies have shown that epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a compound found in green tea, k!lled mouth cancer cells without harming normal cells.

But researchers did not understand the reasons behind the substance's ability to k!ll the cancer cells.
Scientists now believe EGCG may trigger a process in the mitochondria - the powerhouse of a cell that produces energy - that leads to cell de'ath.
