A study published in the May 2012 edition of Preventive Medicine showed that black tea is associated with a decrease in triglyceride levels, and improvement in cholesterol markers, and a decrease in fasting blood sugar. The researchers recruited 87 people between 25 and 60 years old. The subjects were randomized so that half were told to drink three cups of black tea per day, while the other half was told to drink the same volume of hot water throughout the day. The study went on for 12 weeks. At the end of the 12 weeks there were significant improvements in triglyceride levels, cholesterol markers, and fasting glucose. All of these are important for cardiovascular health.
