(HealthDayNews) -- Both men and women can benefit by drinking tea, according to two studies published in medical journals.
First, Oncogene reported that regular tea drinking can help men with prostate cancer. The disease can be stimulated by androgens, the male sex hormones. Some components of tea appear to bind to androgen receptors in the prostate gland, slowing the growth of the cancer.
And the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported that in a study of 1,256 women, tea drinkers had a higher bone-mineral density than those who didn't drink tea. In other words, tea may protect against osteoporosis.
