A new study claims that people who drink 3 cups of black tea each day could lower their risk of diabetes.

The study, based on 40 research papers and published in the UK Nutrition Bulletin, found that 3 cups of tea per day could reduce the risk of heart attack by up to 60% and substantially lower the chances of getting type 2 diabetes.

The study, which assessed data potentially linking the consumption of black tea with disease prevention, revealed that tea helped to produce a significant protective association in the majority of cases.
