“89 percent consume black tea”
In the description of the scientific study; “Regardless of genetic variation in caffeine metabolism, among those who drink 2 or more teas per day; higher tea intake was associated with a lower risk of death. These findings suggest that even at higher intake levels, tea can be part of a healthy diet.” it was said.
The findings showed that the result was the same regardless of whether the person added milk or sugar to their tea or what their preferred temperature was.
Stating that previous studies focused on the Asian region that drinks green tea, scientists emphasized that 89 percent of the participants in this study drank black tea varieties.
