Researchers studying the impact of tea found that drinking four or more cups of black, green or oolong tea every day was linked to a 17% lower risk of developing Type 2 diabetes over the course of a decade.
“Our results are exciting because they suggest that people can do something as simple as drinking four cups of tea a day to potentially lessen their risk of developing Type 2 diabetes,” said lead study author Xiaying Li, from Wuhan University of Science and Technology in China.
Li’s team did a meta-analysis of 19 studies that included more than 1 million adults from eight countries.
First, they studied nearly 5,200 adults with no history of Type 2 diabetes and an average age of 42 who were recruited in 1997 and followed until 2009 in the China Health and Nutrition Survey.
