Tea against diabetes

Tea against diabetes

Mmm, such a delicious cup of tea. And useful too...

Research
The German Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf has conducted a study on the effect of tea on diabetes. 12,403 diabetic patients and thousands of healthy subjects from 26 research centers in eight different European countries were studied.

Result
And what turned out? People who drink four or more cups of tea a day reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. Large tea drinkers have an average of 20% less chance of diabetes than the group that does not drink to three cups of tea a day. The positive effect of tea, according to the researcher, is because this warm drink influences the processing of glucose and the absorption of glucose.
