Tea has benefits for heart health — but not if it’s scalding hot
- On Wednesday, researchers published a study in the Journal of Internal Medicine involving 485,934 Chinese adults, finding regular tea consumption linked to an 11% lower risk of vascular disease.
- Researchers documented more than 14,800 cardiovascular cases over nine years, noting that tea contains polyphenols including flavonoids that may protect blood vessels and improve arterial function.
- Participants who reported drinking "burning hot" tea faced a 16% higher risk of vascular disease, while moderate-temperature tea showed protective benefits.
- Dell Stanford, senior dietitian at the British Heart Foundation, cautioned that this observational study does not prove cause and effect, noting overall lifestyle factors likely explain the findings.
- Researchers emphasize that no single drink transforms heart health; maintaining a nutritious diet and regular physical activity remain the primary ways to reduce vascular disease risk.
