Key Findings:
Drinking 10 cups of unsweetened black tea daily (around 1.2 liters) was associated with a 16% lower risk of heart disease compared to non-tea drinkers.
Consuming just two cups yielded a much smaller benefit, reducing risk by only 5%.
Study Details:
Researchers analyzed results from 14 previous studies, encompassing 958,477 participants, of whom 16,990 developed heart disease.
The findings support recommendations that encourage including black tea as part of a healthy lifestyle.
Insights:
While green tea has often been highlighted for its health benefits due to its antioxidant content and lower caffeine levels, this study indicates that black tea also has cardioprotective properties.
Scientists are still investigating the exact mechanisms through which black tea helps prevent heart disease.
Publication: The results were published in the Journal of Nutrition, Metabolism, and Cardiovascular Diseases.
This study underscores that higher daily intake of black tea may provide significant cardiovascular benefits, but moderate consumption offers smaller protective effects.
