Study: Drinking Tea May Help You Live Longer, Especially If It ’ s Green

This study strengthens the body of evidence that habitual tea drinking is associated with lower rates of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, though it cannot prove that it’s definitely the tea that’s responsible,” Dr. Jenna Macciochi, a lecturer in immunology at the University of Sussex, told the SMC. However, she noted that “a body of evidence in nutrition suggests that whole diet patterns are more informative of diet-disease relationships than any isolated food or nutrient.” Dr. Duane Mellor, a registered dietitian and senior teaching fellow at Aston Medical School, Aston University, said that while green tea is safe and may have benefits, green tea supplements “should be considered carefully as there has been a number of cases of liver damage reported in individuals who have consumed these in large doses.” The-CNN-Wire & © 2020 Cable News Network, Inc., a WarnerMedia Company.
