Trouble may be brewing for heavy tea drinkers, a dementia study found.
Cuppa fans supping more than 13 a day may raise their risk of developing Alzheimer’s.
The Chinese University of Hong Kong team said each extra cup “significantly decreased grey matter” in the brain, which “indicates over-drinking tea might lead to a decline in language and memory functions.”
They added: “Our results shed light on a novel possible mechanism of tea intake to increase the risk [of Alzheimer’s] by reducing brain volume.”
However, they also found one to six cups of tea a day may actually cut the risk of dementia.
