A systematic review and meta-analysis of 18 studies involving more than 48,000 people found that tea drinking was associated with better bone mineral density and 59% lower odds of osteoporosis after menopause. More research is needed. doi.org/10.1007/s11657-025-0… #WomensHealth #Tea

Emerging research has also studied black tea and inflammatory responses. A 2026 narrative review found promising evidence for tea's effects on inflammatory markers, particularly in people with higher baseline inflammation. More research is needed. doi.org/10.4236/fns.2026.172… #Inflammation #Tea

Tea is much more than a refreshing drink. Black tea naturally contains polyphenols, including theaflavins, which are being studied for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and potential contribution to long-term health. More research is needed. doi.org/10.4236/fns.2026.172… #Polyphenols #Tea

A new study involving more than 167,000 UK adults found that drinking unsweetened tea was associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Another encouraging finding for a much-loved daily drink. More research is needed. doi.org/10.1007/s00394-026-0… #HeartHealth #Tea

A simple way to increase your flavan-3-ol intake, which may be beneficial for your heart, is to drink around four cups of tea a day. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article… More research is needed #Tea

A new study suggests that regular black tea (with or without milk) may help relieve conditions linked to long-term inflammation. 10.4236/fns.2026.172013 More research is needed #Tea

Our research showed that only half of the women (51%) surveyed said they’d given serious thought to their bone health - but daily tea consumption could be a simple, accessible dietary strategy to support postmenopausal bone health. doi.org/10.1007/s11657-025-0… More research is needed #Tea

Research published in Frontiers in Nutrition highlights the reasons for tea’s heart benefits - its rich polyphenol content and emphasises the clear benefits of daily tea drinking to keep our hearts in tip top condition frontiersin.org/journals/nut… #Tea

A new systematic review and meta-analysis has found that tea consumption supports better bone health in women who’ve been through menopause - with almost 60% reduced risk of osteoporosis risk after menopause. doi.org/10.1007/s11657-025-0… More research is needed #Tea

There is the a growing body of evidence in favour of drinking tea for heart health, such as a new study in Frontiers in Nutrition which highlights tea’s rich polyphenol content and notes the clear benefits of daily tea drinking to keep our hearts in tip top condition. frontiersin.org/journals/nut… More research is needed #Tea

A study of 84,000+ people in Korea found that those following a high-protein diet alongside a few cups of green tea had lower risks of stroke and heart attack – particularly women. More research is needed #Tea

A new study on the role of tea in managing cardiovascular risk factors: potential benefits, mechanisms, and interventional strategies adds to a large body of existing research highlighting the beneficial effects of tea for cholesterol levels, blood pressure, inflammation and blood clotting. frontiersin.org/journals/nut… More research is needed #Tea

Today is World Heart Day and a good old cup of tea could help your heart health, thanks to a group of bioactive compounds found in tea called flavan-3-ols. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/article… More research is needed #WorldHealthDay #Tea

Black tea contains the amino acid L-theanine. This has been found to block oxidative damage caused by inflammatory reactions and protect against damage to the lining cells of organs like the digestive tract and airway. scirp.org/journal/paperinfor… More research is needed #Tea

Our research shows that only 16% of Brits linked drinking tea with heart health, while 17% said a cuppa was good for lowering blood pressure - with others missing a trick when it comes to this easy way to take care of their heart. More research is needed #Tea

Did you know black tea's potential anti-inflammatory activity appears to stem from its rich profile of naturally occurring bioactive compounds. These include polyphenols like flavan-3-ols, theaflavins, thearubigins, catechins and quercetin – plant chemicals that can interact with the body’s immune and inflammatory pathways. scirp.org/journal/paperinfor… More research is needed #Tea

Our research showed that a third correctly identified that polyphenols may help to protect against strokes and heart disease. But that still leaves a sizeable section of the British public who are none the wiser about the importance of getting around 3-4 of cups of tea every day. More research is needed #Tea

According to a growing number of studies, diets with a higher proportion of polyphenol-rich foods (like tea) are linked with reduced risks of several conditions including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke and respiratory tract infections. More research is needed #Tea

Did you know brewed black tea provides around 115mg of flavan-3-ols per 100g? Green tea around 54mg per 100g, apples around 9.3mg, pears around 6.8mg, raspberries around 5.8mg and strawberries around 4.6mg. More research is needed #Tea
