    Does green tea reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease or cancer?
    With the exception of water, more people drink tea than any other beverage. For years, it has been thought that green tea offers protection against a wide range of ills. A short list includes cancer, cardiovascular disease, arthritis and high cholesterol .
    A recent study investigated the effects of consuming green tea and mortality due to all causes,cardiovascular disease and cancer. Officially referred to as the “Ohsaki National Health Insurance Cohort Study,” the researchers looked at
    40,530 men and women (ages 40 to 79) living in Northeastern Japan who had no history of stroke, coronary heart disease or cancer.
    According to the data, those who consumed at least five cups of green tea per day had a 16-percent lower risk of dying from all causes, and a 26-percent lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease compared to those who drank less than one cup per day. Interestingly, these associations were mainly found in women. The data showed nolink between green tea and dying from cancer.
    One drawback is that this was a cohort study, in which a group of people who have the same characteristics or experiences is followed for a certain period of time. In general, cohort studies aren’t as reliable as randomized, controlled studies. The researchers even admit, “Clinical trials are ultimately necessary to confirm the protective effect of green tea on mortality.”
    Another drawback of the study is that it relied on self-reported data from the subjects, which can be inaccurate.
