Green Tea Consumption May Reduce Risk of Psychological Distress
In a cross-sectional study involving 43,093 Japanese individuals, aged at least 40 years, results indicate that green tea consumption may be inversely associated with psychological distress. Daily green tea intake and psychological distress were assessed in the subjects. Using multiple regression adjusted for potential confounders, subjects who consumed 5 or more cups of green tea daily showed a 20% reduced risk of developing psychological distress, compared with those who consumed 1 cup or less daily. Thus, the authors of this study conclude, “Green tea consumption was inversely associated with psychological distress even after adjustment for possible confounding factors.”
