Tea consumption has been linked to reduced risk for certain cancers, diabetes and possibly cardiovascular disease. Tea is rich in immune supportive phytonutrients like polyphenols, including catechins and epicatechins like ECGC and others found in green tea.

The optimal amount of tea per day generally ranges from 1-3 cups. But more is not always better. Excessive tea intake has been connected to risk for kidney stones, due to oxalate content, may be detrimental for heart health because of caffeine or increased risk for obesity and diabetes when tea is loaded with added sugar.
