Experts from the University of Dundee led by Dr Graham Rena along the Scottish Crop Research Institute revealed that compounds in black tea called theaflavins and thearubigin can mimic the function of insulin in the body.

Our task now is to see if these findings can be translated into something useful for human health, ¨ said Dr. Rena.

Dr Rena stressed that further research is necessary. Therefore, he urged people not necessarily consume black tea as a way of treating diabetes. The public need not be panic to drink black tea in large quantities and think that tea can cure them of diabetes. We still have a long road to arrive at new treatments or dietary advice explained.
