Put the kettle on, you know it makes sense.
Drinking up to eight cups of tea a day offers "significant health benefits", including a lower risk of heart attack and stroke, according to research. Caffeinated drinks including tea, coffee and cocoa have a positive effect on mental function, increasing alertness, wellbeing and short-term memory, according to the study.
Dr Carrie Ruxton, a dietician who conducted a review of 47 published studies, found that an intake of 400mg of caffeine a day – or eight cups of tea – delivered "key benefits in terms of mental function and heart health" without any adverse consequences. She found that regular tea drinking could help lead to "reduced mortality, a lower risk of heart attack and lower cholesterol."
...I remember watching Tony Benn on television doing a lecture tour. He is a great man, who I have admired for many years now, he was the MP for Bristol South East from 1963 to 1983. When the time came for the interval, he calmly sat on the edge of the stage and drank hot tea from a thermos flask. Not quite rock and roll, but a great politician and thinker! He remarked that he always enjoyed drinking tea and drank many cups every day. Still, he is now 84 years old and is living proof of how good a high intake of tea is for the human body.
