Green Tea Found to Cut All-Cause and Cardiovascular Mortality - CME Teaching Brief® - MedPage Today: "SENDAI, Japan, Sept. 12 -- Cup after cup of green tea earned a high grade for reducing all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in a study here, but cancer mortality drew a blank.
Compared with participants who consumed less than one cup of green tea a day, those who drank five or more cups had a risk of all-cause mortality that was 16% lower during 11 years of follow-up and 26% lower for cardiovascular deaths during seven years of follow-up, according to a report in the Sept. 13 issue of JAMA."
