Drinking a cup of tea or coffee in the morning could help prevent liver disease in man.
The research was carried out by a team of Researchers from Duke's School of Medicine in Singapore, led by Professor Paul Yen.
The caffeine in tea reduces the kind of fatty liver problems associated with diabetes and obesity. According to Paul, "The notion that coffee and tea maybe therapeutic, since they have a reputation for being "bad" for health is enlightening".
The team hopes that their study could help to develop caffeine-like drugs without the side-effects related to large amounts of tea and coffee.
This might just be a good reason for me to start drinking tea daily now.
