PARIS, Oct 4 — Green tea regularly gets plaudits in scientific studies for health benefits, but it’s far from the only tea that is getting attention in this area.
Some of these have already been the subject of much research, in particular on well-being and cognitive functions, but what’s now attracting scientific interest is its impact on diabetes. Of the participants, 436 had diabetes, 352 had prediabetes , and 1,135 had normal blood sugar levels. The researchers point out that this phenomenon could be linked to the way dark teas, such as pu’er cha, is produced, “which involves microbial fermentation,” but also to the presence of antioxidants and anti-inflammatories.
