The results were the same regardless of the genetic variants that affect the rate of caffeine metabolism in humans.
Data from the British Biobank showed that people who drank two or more cups of black tea a day had a lower risk of death. In this case, the result was the same regardless of whether the person added milk or sugar to the tea or at what temperature they preferred to drink it, writes The Guardian.
So, the researchers said that compared to non-tea drinkers, people who drank two or more cups of this beverage per day had a 9-13% lower risk of death.
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health used data from the British Biobank, where 85% of half a million men and women aged 40 to 69 reported regular tea drinking. Of these, 89% said they drank the black variety. The study was conducted using a questionnaire, which was answered from 2006 to 2010, and continued for more than ten years.
“This article shows that regular consumption of black tea (the most widely consumed tea in Europe) is associated with a modest reduction in overall mortality and, in particular, CVD mortality over 10 years in middle-aged adults,” the researchers said.
In addition, researchers from Tianjin Medical University in China found that people who drank two to three cups of coffee or three to five cups of tea per day, or four to six cups of the same beverage, had the lowest risk. to have a stroke or dementia – 32 % less.
