Researchers say the reason for the tea’s potential anti-diabetic effects may be due to its anticancer, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds.
“Our findings are exciting because they suggest that people can do something as simple as drinking 4 cups of tea a day to reduce the likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes,” said study lead author Zheng Li.
What intrigued the researchers even more was that these associations were observed regardless of the tea the participants consumed and their gender.
Professor Lee added: ‘While more research is needed to determine the exact dosage and mechanisms behind these observations, our findings suggest that drinking tea is useful in reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes, but only at high doses. (at least 4 cups a day).) “.
“It is possible that some ingredients in tea, such as polyphenols, can reduce blood glucose levels, but enough of these bioactive compounds may be needed to be effective.”
