Recent study suggests a daily doses of black tea can lower cholesterol

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

South Bay News shares the latest findings from research that claims drinking black tea each day can effectively lower your LDL cholesterol and improve your cardiovascular health.



An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but a recent study found drinking tea might keep the cardiologist at bay. The USDA reported that men and women who drank black tea for three weeks reduced their total and bad cholesterol (LDL) levels by an average of 7.5 percent. Researchers concluded that drinking tea may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. Antioxidants called flavonoids, found in both green and black teas, are thought to be potent weapons in the fight against heart disease. That news may be especially important for women, given that heart disease kills more women than all forms of cancer combined including breast cancer.
