New research proves popping on the kettle could help prevent type-2 diabetes, backing up previous reports from a Japanese study in 1995.
The latest study found that black tea inhibits the body from absorbing glucose sugars which can help control the condition in humans.
Conducted by Framingham State University, the study found that rats had “significantly” reduced levels of blood glucose and that black tea could both prevent and cure rats with diabetes.

“Our findings suggest that black tea and black tea pomace has potential for carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzyme inhibition and this activity depends on high molecular weight phenolic compounds.
“The study reveals that, like green tea, black tea also possesses antidiabetic activity.”
