Black tea may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Black tea may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

The benefits of flavonoids, found in high concentrations, may be even greater than previously thought, according to researchers at Edith Cowan University in Perth, Australia. They studied a group of 881 women, with a median age of 80, and the calcification rate of their abdominal aorta. Arterial calcification predicts the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes. Women with high dietary intake of flavonoids were 36-39% less likely to develop extensive calcification. According to the study, black tea was the most effective for flavonoid levels: volunteers who drank two to six cups a day were 16% to 42% less likely to develop calcification.
