Black Tea
Consumption of black tea reduces the risk of stroke. Foods high in
flavonoids such as black tea, help all aspects of the cardiovascular system
and reduce the production of LDL - the "bad" cholesterol that can lead to
stroke and heart attacks.

An American Heart Association study in New Orleans found that tea drinkers
have a lower risk of heart attack and stroke. In this study, subjects drank
four cups of water or tea a day for four weeks. According to their findings,
black tea relaxes and expands arteries, thus increasing blood flow to the
heart. Arteries of a healthy person release the chemical called nitric oxide
causing the artery to dilate. People with coronary artery disease produce
less nitric oxide and thus their arteries do not dilate normally. The study
revealed tea reverses this abnormality while drinking water had no effect.

The high levels of antioxidants in black tea have been found to not only
improve artery function but also to lower the rates of cancers. They have
the ability to stop oxidation which damages DNA and turns normal cells into
cancer cells.

number of registered deaths, rate (/100000) and causes (WHO mortality
tables, year 2000)

USA: sex number rate
Malignant neoplasms.......M.......286082.......207.2
Malignant neoplasms.......F.......267009.......186.2

JAPAN
Malignant neoplasms.......M.......179140.......291.3
Malignant neoplasms.......F.......116344.......181.4

unsure of these, but, here:
USA:
.......8%% drank green tea everyday.
.......0.3 cups/day ( 60mL tea/day, American cup = 180mL)
JAPAN:
.......65%% drank green tea everyday. (1.5%% drank black tea everyday,
6.5%% oolong tea)
.......3-4 cups/day (480mL tea/day, Japanese cup = 120mL)
