Green Tea Holds Promise in HIV Fight


Chalk up another one for green tea. In test-tube experiments, a component of the ubiquitous health beverage blocks the ability of the AIDS virus to hijack and destroy immune-system cells, scientists from Houston and the United Kingdom say.

Green tea's benefits stem from a substance called epigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG. EGCG is a flavonoid, a compound that gives green tea its color, and has anti-cancer, anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties. EGCG-based cancer drugs already are in clinical trials.

Now, new work by Baylor College of Medicine and University of Sheffield, UK, scientists shows how the EGCG molecule binds to the exact spot HIV needs to infect a healthy T-cell, a type of white blood cell critical to fighting infections. Their report is online in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.

Though green tea in itself is not yet recommended to treat HIV, this resents an exciting breakthrough in the fight against this dreaded disease.
