People who like their green tea can also enjoy a longer, healthier life, suggests a major new study.
The researchers found that among the more than 100,000 Chinese adults who followed, those who drank green tea at least three times a week were less likely to have a heart attack or stroke in the next seven years.
Tea lovers also had a slightly longer life expectancy. At 50, they could hope to live a little more than a year longer than their counterparts who were not regular consumers of green tea.
The study is the last to examine the possible health effects of green tea.
