Following green tea, the results of the study show that drinking black tea can also reduce the risk of death!

The study found that people who drank two or more cups of black tea a day had a 9 to 13 percent
lower mortality rate.

According to a prospective cohort study, drinking black tea may be associated
with a slight reduction in the risk of death.
People who drink two or more cups of tea a day have the lowest
risk of death.
The study was published in the Journal of Internal Medicine Yearbook on August 30, 2022

Tea is one of the most popular drinks in the
world.
Previous research has shown a link
between tea drinking and reducing the risk of death in communities where green tea is the most common tea drink.
In contrast, the results of the study based on black tea drinkers are not too stable
.

Using data from the UK's Biobank, researchers at the National Institutes of Health conducted a study investigating the link
between tea consumption and all-cause and specific deaths.
They also looked at whether the relationship differed based on the use of typical tea additives (milk and sugar), the temperature of the tea, and the genetic variants that determine how quickly individuals metabolize caffeine
.

The UK Biobank includes data from 500,000 men and women between the ages of 40 and 69 who completed a baseline questionnaire
between 2006 and 2010.
85% of respondents said they drank tea regularly, and 89% drank black tea
.

Participants who drank two or more cups of tea per day had a 9 to 13 percent
lower risk of death compared to those who did not drink tea.
These relationships were observed regardless of whether the subjects also drank coffee, whether milk or sugar was added to the tea, whether they liked the temperature of the tea, and whether there was a gene variation in caffeine metabolism
.
According to the authors, their findings suggest that even higher intake of tea can be part of
a healthy diet.
