Ground Report

Scientists have come up with yet more evidence why tea is good for your health-drinking three cups a day can help prevent a heart attack or stroke…..unless you’re a man.A team of researchers in France has carried out a study and found that women who take three cups of tea daily are less likely to have plaques-dangerous build-ups of fat and cholesterol-in their arteries.British newspaper ‘Daily Mail’ reported.However,according to them,the same is not true in case of men.In fact,the researchers at the Institut National de la Sant Et de la Recherche Medicale in Paris came to the conclusion after examining a group of 2,613 men and 3,984 women with an average age of 73.They measured the level of plaque in their carotid artery using ultrasound.Carotid palque was found in 45% of women who were not tea-drinkers and in only 33.7% of those reporting drinking three or more cups a day.
