Tea Consumption Associated with Lower Risk of Death

In a study of ~5 million people, researchers observed associated health benefits from drinking 2+ cups of tea per day.

DCEG researchers investigate the relationship between dietary intake, nutritional status, and cancer risk using data from a number of large, population-based studies in the United States and abroad. Analyses from these studies consider diet and nutrition in terms of whole foods consumed, micronutrients, and chemicals formed through cooking methods. Selected studies include:

Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene Cancer Prevention (ATBC) Study
Meat Intake
NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study
Nutrition Intervention Trials in Linxian, China
Polyp Prevention Trial
Prostate, Lung, Colon, and Ovary Prospective Study
Shanghai Women's Study
Vitamin D and Cancer Risk
U.S. Radiologic Technologists Cohort
