The consumption of mushrooms and green tea by 2,000 women, aged from 20 to 87 in relatively affluent southeast China, was monitored. Half of the women were healthy and the others had confirmed breast cancer. On interview, it was found that fresh white button mushrooms, Agaricus bisporus, and fragrant dried mushrooms, Lentinula edodes, were the most commonly eaten species of mushroom. Some of the women in the study consumed neither mushrooms nor green tea while others enjoyed both up to three times a day.
The results of the study showed that the buy shrooms combination of a dietary intake of mushrooms and green tea decreased breast cancer risk with an additional reduced effect on the malignance of cancer. Zhang concluded that, if confirmed consistently in other research, this inexpensive dietary intervention may have potential implications for protection against breast cancer development.
