class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u2018What\u2019s more, this action was completely independent of insulin, which we often think of as the only factor in blood glucose control.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Researchers tested the effects of drinking tea on 24 participants. Half had normal blood sugar levels, while the others had already been diagnosed with pre-diabetes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The day before each trial, both groups were asked to avoid any exercise and eat moderately.<\/p>\n<p>      <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-b232251607b3b926\" src=\"image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\"

class=\"imageCaption\">In the latest study, black tea was found to significantly reduce the amount of glucose in adults who were given sucrose-laden drinks just before<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">All were given the same small low-sugar evening meal for the study published in the Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The following morning, blood samples were taken by the researchers when they were in a fasting state.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">They were given\u00a0a sugary drink accompanied by a beverage containing either a high or low dose of tea polyphenols or a placebo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Further blood samples were taken 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes later.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The experiment was repeated three times, with a one-week gap between each test day to allow the researchers to accurately record each volunteer\u2019s response.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">This also allowed them to ensure any noticeable changes were solely due to the different drinks.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mol-factbox-title\">DRINK TEA TO PREVENT DEMENTIA\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Drinking a cup of tea each day may substantially lower your risk of dementia, research last week suggested.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Consuming the popular beverage reduced the chances of getting the debilitating disease by 50 per cent, scientists found.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">While those carrying the \u2018dementia gene\u2019 can slash their likelihood of developing toxic clumps in their brain by as much as 86 per cent.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">And it doesn\u2019t matter whether you prefer green tea or black \u2013 it all has the same effect on the brain, according to scientists from the National University of Singapore.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">As expected, the biggest surges in blood sugar levels were seen when volunteers were given the placebo drink alongside the sugary one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">But surprisingly, both doses of tea polyphenols showed the same significant suppression of blood sugar spikes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In a separate finding, there were no differences between the volunteers\u2019 insulin levels at any point of the study.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Insulin is the hormone that mops up and stores excess blood sugar before it can damage blood vessels and organs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Impaired insulin response is one of the hallmarks of pre-diabetes, where levels are raised, but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as full-blown type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The study is just the latest in a string of trials confirming the health benefits of a cup of tea.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">As MailOnline reported earlier this month, drinking tea every day has been shown to reduces the risk of cognitive impairment in older people by 50 per cent.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">And for those who are genetically predisposed to Alzheimer\u2019s, a cup of tea daily can reduce the risk by as much as 86 per cent.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n<p>            <!-- ad:
