A systematic review and meta-analysis of 19 cohort studies involving more than 1 million adults from eight countries has claimed that people who drink four or more cups of tea every day – specifically green, Oolong, or black tea – are 17% less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those who do not drink tea. However drinking fewer cups of tea per day was not found to confer any benefit..
The findings are being presented at this year's European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) Annual Meeting in Stockholm, Sweden (19-23 Sept).
