Regularly drinking large amounts of mate tea can increase the risk for several types of cancers.
Mate contains compounds that are thought to have stimulant effects. Mate products have been used both for weight loss and cancer prevention.
Some lab studies suggest that mate can stop cancer cell growth, but it has not been shown to prevent or treat cancer in humans.
Drinking large amounts of mate regularly is linked to increased risks of developing prostate, lung, bladder, esophageal, or head and neck cancers.
