Does green tea affect the efficiency of the gene p53?

YES- improves it: More research is needed but it has been shown that in prostate cancer green tea improves functioning of the p53 gene thus inducing apoptosis (self-destruction of cancer cells). http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3adoi%2f10.1371%2fjournal.pone.0052572 ; http://www.Spandidos-publications.Com/ijo/41/1/353 it is likely that this could also help with breast ; other cancers.
