Background Effects of regular exposure to polyphenolic compounds found in tea, leading to
improved endothelial function and blood pressure, may reduce cardiovascular disease risk …

There is increasing evidence that black tea polyphenols contribute to vascular health. We
have recently shown that regular ingestion of polyphenol-rich black tea over 6 months …

Background The flavonoid components of tea have been associated in epidemiological
studies with a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease. Flavonoids have been shown to …

Background—Epidemiological studies suggest that tea consumption decreases
cardiovascular risk, but the mechanisms of benefit remain undefined. Endothelial …

SUMMARY 1 The consumption of tea worldwide is second only to water. Thus, any
physiological effects of tea could have a significant impact on population health. 2 Tea is the …

Background: Green tea consumption has been inversely associated with cardiovascular
disease (CVD) in epidemiological studies. Although some interventional trials suggest that …

Epidemiological studies suggest that tea consumption is associated with reduced
cardiovascular disease risk, but the mechanisms for these observations have remained …

A higher intake of black tea has been associated with lower cardiovascular disease risk. The
antioxidant effects of tea polyphenols may enhance endothelial function and thereby reduce …

Background Tea consumption is associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease
including stroke. Direct effects of tea components on the vasculature, particularly the …

The effect of tea intake on blood pressure (BP) is controversial. We performed a meta-
analysis of randomised controlled trials to determine the changes in systolic and diastolic BP …
