May help reduce the risk of cancer

There are over 100 distinct forms of cancer, some of which are incurable. Nonetheless, the polyphenols included in black tea may aid in the prevention of some forms of cancer and the promotion of cancer cell death. According to one comprehensive assessment of data on the impact of tea on cancer risk, drinking tea is related to a decreased incidence of mouth cancer. According to the authors, tea may also be connected with a decreased risk of other forms of cancer, such as gastrointestinal cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, lung cancer, and thyroid cancer, but additional well-designed trials are needed to know for sure.

Another study looked at the influence of green and black tea consumption on the risk of endometrial cancer. The study discovered that individuals who consumed the greenest tea had a 22% lower risk of endometrial cancer. Furthermore, every additional cup of green tea consumed each day was related to an 11 percent lower chance of getting endometrial cancer. However, no significant link was discovered between black tea drinking and endometrial cancer risk. Although black tea should not be regarded as an alternative cancer treatment, some study has shown that it may help lessen the risk of some forms of cancer.
