The Claim
Tea consumption is associated with a modestly lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease, with individuals in the highest intake category experiencing a 7% lower risk (relative risk: 0.93, 95% CI: 0.87–1.00) compared to those in the lowest intake category, based on data synthesized from six cohort studies.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
People who drink a lot of tea may have a slightly lower chance of getting Alzheimer’s disease compared to those who drink little or no tea, according to studies tracking large groups of people over time.
