NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - People who unwind with a cup of tea every night may have a lower risk of two common forms of skin cancer, new research suggests.
IIn a study of nearly 2,200 adults, researchers found that tea drinkers had a lower risk of developing squamous cell or basal cell carcinoma, the two most common forms of skin cancer.
Men and women who had ever been regular tea drinkers -- having one or more cups a day -- were 20 percent to 30 percent less likely to develop the cancers than those who didn't drink tea.
The effect was even stronger among study participants who'd been tea fans for decades, as well as those who regularly had at least two cups a day, according to findings published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.
However, the findings do not mean it's okay to bake in the sun as long as you have a cup of tea afterward. The researchers found no evidence that tea drinking lowered skin cancer risk in people who'd accumulated painful sunburns in the past.
Nor did the study look at the relationship between tea drinking and malignant melanoma, the least common but most deadly form of skin cancer.
Still, the findings support the theory that tea antioxidants may limit the damage UV radiation inflicts on the skin, according to the study authors, led by Dr. Judy R. Rees of Dartmouth Medical School in Lebanon, New Hampshire.
In particular, a tea antioxidant known as EGCG has been shown to reduce burning on UV-exposed skin.
The current findings are based on interviews with 770 New Hampshire residents with basal cell carcinoma, 696 with squamous cell carcinoma, and 715 cancer-free men and women the same age.
Tea consumption was linked to a lower skin cancer risk, even with factors such as age, skin type and history of severe burns considered. However, tea drinkers who'd suffered multiple painful burns in the past did not have a lower risk of skin cancer.
It's possible, the researchers explain, that the antioxidants in tea are enough to limit skin damage caused by moderate sun exposure, but not the "more extreme" effects of sun exposure, such as cancer-promoting damage to the DNA in skin cells.

| "Earth, the only planet with free choice in the Milky Way Galaxy" |
“.. A
billion years ago, they (Pleiadians)
went through a change and they went through a shift, and they had free choice.
Back then, they were the only planet that did in their time, and eventually
they went through a metamorphosis of consciousness. ”
“.. So
again, we tell you that the ones who came to help seed you approximately 100,000
to 200,000 Earth years ago were the Pleiadians who had gone into graduate
status and who had changed consciousness. They had become quantum with free
choice, and you have parts of their DNA within you. ..”
“..You're
surrounded by divine beings who keep you safe and will continue while this
planet of only free choice – the only one at the moment – makes its decision.
You're turning the corner of consciousness and they all know it, for they've
all been through it and they remember it. Oh dear ones, consciousness is
volatile! You've seen it change so slowly, but it's about to change faster.
It's not going to take generations and generations as in the past. Instead,
you're going to see real-time changes. Humans won't wait to have children for
them to grow up and have children. ..”

“.. In
time, the quantum factor will be discovered on this planet. When it is, it will
be highly controversial, and it's going to fly in the face of logic and 3D and
the way things work via the scientific method. The ramp-up to all this is
difficult. The old souls in front of me have signed on to work this new energy
and they've waded through lifetimes, just waiting for this. What would you do
as a scientist if the experiments before you had "a mind of their
own"? What would you think if magnetics, gravity and light could only be
assembled in a certain way that created healing and never a destructive
alignment? All this is going to redefine some of the basic forces in the
Universe. Intelligent design is only the first, and even today many astronomers
and physicists still think it's an anomaly.
That will
be the next largest discovery on the planet. It's been held back from you
because it takes a higher vibrating consciousness to create and understand it.
When any planet discovers a quantum energy and is able to use it, you could go
to that planet and know that you will meet high-consciousness entities. This
has never been given to you before that, for within the quantum factor contains
the secret of interplanetary travel using large, entangled states. There are
ways of doing things you never thought could happen. You can throw away your
rocket ships. You're on the edge of that.
..”
“… And so,
dear Human Being, you have the ability to start to return to an energy that you
thought you'd lost, where Human beings are allowed to live longer and it
doesn't destroy the environment. They don't overcrowd themselves because they
can control it through their minds instead of laws... and through wisdom.
Some day you'll meet the star seeds, your Pleiadian sisters and brothers. They're even here now, since they are quantum. You've got Pleiadian ancestors who live a very, very long time in a graduate situation in a planet that went through the test just like yours. And it developed a quantum factor. They have benevolence and they have quantum energy. That's how they get here instantly and return, and they'll never interrupt your free choice. That's also why they don't land and say hello. Instead, they sit and cheer on the sidelines for what you've finally done. They are waiting with you to celebrate the December solstice of 2012... the half way point of the 36 year shift you are in. …”
