Drinking 2 or More Cups of Black Tea May Lower Risk of Early Death, Study Finds
, and oolong for many of our ailments. But new research is shaking up what’s in our cup. A new study found that drinking two or more cups of black tea a day could lower the risk of early death., aimed to determine if daily tea drinking could provide health benefits. Researchers looked at mortality rates of nearly 500,000 men and women 40 to 69 years old in the UK Biobank.
When scientists followed up about 10 years later, they found that those who drank two or more cups of black tea per day were less likely to have died from cardiovascular disease, ischemic heart disease, and stroke—as much as 13% less likely. The study found almost 85% of participants reported drinking tea overall, with 89% drinking black tea specifically. Most participants who drank tea had between two to five cups per day, while 19% drank more than six cups daily. The research found those who drank more than three cups of tea per day did not have a lower mortality risk than those who drank between one and three cups.
And surprisingly, whether you take your tea with milk and sugar or drink it black may not make as much of a difference as you might think. Researchers didn’t find any reduction in health benefits in those who opted to take their tea with milk and sugar compared with those who drank it black.
