Tea and Heart Attacks
Chinese Tea 2007-06-01 source：
Daily tea consumption has been shown to lower the risk of having a heart attack and to improve the likelihood of surviving after having a heart attack.
Researchers at Harvard examined 340 women and men who had suffered heart attacks and compared them to matched control subjects. The study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Epidemiology in 1999, found a 44 percent reduction in the risk of heart attack among those who drank a cup of black tea or more daily compared to the non-tea drinkers.
Another Harvard study examined 1,900 people and found that those who consumed tea during the year prior to having a heart attack fared far better in the three to four years following the attack. Individuals who drank more than 14 cups of tea per week had a 44 percent reduced death rate compared to non-tea drinkers, and those who consumed tea but less than 14 cups per week had a 28 percent reduced death rate. The study was published in Circulation in 2002.
A Dutch study published in 2002 in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition also found that an increased intake of tea and flavonoids lowered the risk of a fatal heart attack. Researchers followed 4807 men and women with no history of myocardial infraction, for five years. Tea drinkers who consumed more than 375 ml of tea daily had a lower relative risk of incident myocardial infraction than non-tea drinkers. The inverse association with tea drinking was stronger for fatal events than for nonfatal events.
