Natural News reports that some natural chemicals in black tea could help protect you from diabetes. Research published in the journal Aging Cell found that these chemicals can act like insulin in the body. Though the research is preliminary, some studies found that drinking black tea could reduce heart disease and risk of cancer. Lead researcher on the study, Graham Rena, said that although their findings are stunning, “people shouldn’t be rushing to drink masses of black tea thinking it will cure them of diabetes. We are still some way from this leading to new treatments or dietary advice.”
As for me, I was interested in this study because I’ve been considering trying out black tea as a replacement for my morning coffee which has been upsetting my stomach lately. If I cut out coffee, I would still like something warm, healthy, and caffeinated in the a.m. Anyone else drink tea as a morning pick-me-up?
