New research shows that tea drinking may be linked to lower risk of death

A new study has suggested that those who prefer a black cup of tea have a lower risk of death to other individuals.

Findings discovered by researchers, using UK Biobank data, have said that having a brew could be associated with a low risk of mortality, as reported by The Guardian. In comparison to those who do not consume tea, people who drink two or more cups daily had between 9 per cent and 13 per cent lower risk of death.

The study was published in the Annals of Internal Medicine and also stated the result was the same for all, even if you add milk or sugar in, at whatever temperature you prefer. The findings were also the same regardless of genetic variants that affect the rate at which people metabolise caffeine.
