affeine. In that group, 12 of the original 15 individuals were given water-flavored-like tea with caffeine levels similar to what is found in tea. Those who had regular tea saw their LDL levels drop about 11 percent compared with the caffeine placebo.
The study controlled the diets of the participants by supplying them with their daily meals.
Researchers had the same background diet for every subject throughout the whole study because these active ingredients [that lower cholesterol] occur in a lot of other foods.
Scientists at the USDA's research division also are studying the bioactivity of tea compounds for use in treating a wide-range of diseases. Research is currently being conducted on the effect tea has on blood glucose levels, the body's metabolism and cancer. '"/>
