New research has tea-lovers heading in the right direction.
A new research study has claimed that drinking four or more cups of tea throughout the day could lower your risk of type 2 diabetes.
Research in previous years has found that tea may have benefits to health, due to the fact that it contains antioxidants and polyphenols, which may protect against disease. However, in order to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, experts are in agreement that people should focus on their weight. The new study, performed in China, researchers first explored data from 5,199 adults in the China Health and Nutrition Survey who did not have diabetes, who were recruited in 1997 and followed until 2009.
This analysis suggested that each cup of tea per day reduced the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by around one per cent. The findings noted that regardless of what type of tea people drank, what their gender was, and where they were from, the benefits were there to see. So, when it comes to whether the reduced risks were true if people added milk to their tea, the researchers said they had reviewed literature previously published on the issue.Naveed Sattar, professor of metabolic medicine at the University of Glasgow, said: “Given the nature of this study, it cannot prove tea prevents diabetes per se.
