LONDON - Britons who drink several cups of English breakfast or Earl Grey tea a day tend to see lower risk of death compared to those who hardly drink the beverage, research published on Monday found.
Higher tea uptake is also associated with lower risks of cardiovascular disease and stroke, according to the study funded by the National Cancer Institute. Moderate tea drinkers appear to be healthier than those who consume large quantities. They are more likely to be non-smokers, consume less red and processed meats and tend to drink their tea at lower temperature, the researchers said.Most participants in the study are predominantly white people so it's still unknown whether such benefit also extends to other ethnic groups with different lifestyles and genetics.
