(Reuters Health) - Consumption of chamomile tea was linked with a lower risk of thyroid cancer in a small Greek study.
Researchers
interviewed some Athens residents about their lifestyle, eating and
drinking habits and found that people who reported drinking more
chamomile tea over longer periods of time were less likely to develop
thyroid malignancies or benign growths than those who didn't.
While
the study doesn't prove tea prevents cancer, it adds to a growing body
of evidence pointing to the potential health benefits of a Mediterranean
diet including lots of lean fish, fresh vegetables and healthy fats in
addition to tea, study co-author Dr. Athena Linos, an environmental
health researcher at Prolepsis in Greece, said by email.
