Scientific studies have found that tea consumers have a lower overall mortality rate. Researchers have also noted that tea is particularly beneficial for health when it is freshly prepared and consumed regularly, pointing out that tea loses its benefits when it is excessively processed. This applies, for example, to packaged tea or bubble tea, which often contain artificial sweeteners, preservatives, and other additives. The site, which is the official portal for German pharmacists, adds that a large-scale scientific study indicates that regular tea consumption protects against the following diseases: cardiovascular diseases; lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels; obesity; diabetes; various types of cancer; a lower mortality rate. Researchers have also found evidence of tea's benefits for cognitive functions, reducing age-related muscle loss, and mitigating inflammatory processes. The website «apotheken.de» states that tea has a wide range of health benefits due to its content of beneficial substances such as polyphenols, including catechins, which promote health.
