Here is yet another good science new from the green tea front: Japanese women who drink 5 or more cups of green tea a day have lowered their risk of dying from pneumonia by 47%, according to Ikue Watanabe of Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine in Sendai, Japan.
Even if they drank only 1 cup of green tea a day their risk still dropped by a whopping 41%. Not bad for a pleasant past time, isn’t it?
Watanabe studied 19,079 men and 21,493 women between 40 and 79 years old over a period of 12 years.
However, the study could not verify the same effect for men.
