The doctors explain why men can’t drink a lot of tea.
Drinking seven or more cups of tea per day by 50% increases the risk of developing prostate cancer in men.
To such conclusion scientists from the University of Glasson the basis of observations of the health of 6000 men for 40 years.
The study began in 1970. Participants range in age from 21 to 75 years filled out questionnaires about the consumption of tea, coffee and alcohol, as well as about Smoking and General health.
Slightly less than a quarter of participants had consumed 7 or more cups a day. Of which 6.4% have earned prostate cancer in the next 7 years.
These data contradict previous research that drinking tea reduces the risk of cancer and heart disease, diabetes, and Parkinson’s disease.
However scientists cannot yet say, is the tea itself a risk factor. In their opinion, more research is needed – too much unexpected results.
