Regular tea drinking linked to lower heart disease and stroke rates; scalding tea to higher risk

EarthDotCom says regular tea drinkers had lower rates of heart disease and stroke over nine years, while scalding tea was tied to higher risk. In an expert reaction shared by the Science Media Centre, a scientist says the study adds to observational evidence of a link between tea drinking and lower cardiovascular risk. Tea drinkers differed from non-drinkers, and the study's model was not fully adjusted for diet and income.
