Background: "Flavenoids 'as in tea] may reduce cardiovascular risk because they have anti-oxidant, antithrombotic, and anti-inflammatory properties--and they may even reverse 'blood vessel lining] dysfunction."

Since that 2001 report in the journal Circulation, two studies have shown the relationship between drinking tea and the risk of heart attack death. In one, 1900 patients (mean age, 61) were found to reduce their risk by 28% among those who drank up to 14 cups of tea a week. Those who drank 14 or more cups a week were found to reduce their risk by an amazing 44%!
In another report, this time of non-patients, drinking tea reduced the risk by 43%.
