Epigenetic changes are chemical modifications that turn our genes off or on. Environment and lifestyle factors, such as food choices, smoking and exposure to chemicals, can lead to epigenetic changes.
According to latest research, there are epigenetic changes in women consuming tea, but not in men.
Some of these epigenetic changes were found in genes involved in cancer and estrogen metabolism.
Results from this study highlight the role of pharmacologically active components in tea being involved in cancer and estrogen metabolism, which can reflect that health effects related to tea consumption might be due to epigenetic changes.
