Eight cups of tea a day to reduce risk of stroke
Drinking up to eight cups of tea a day may offer significant health benefits, according to a dietician from London's King's College. A review of 47 published studies suggests that a daily intake of 400mg of caffeine, equivalent to eight cups, delivers key benefits in terms of mental function and heart health without any adverse consequences. The scientist found that regular tea drinking could help lead to reduced mortality, a lower risk of heart attack and lower cholesterol.
