October 2/Washington/Right Vision News -- Black tea consumption may lower bad cholesterol levels and could one day be used to help reduce the chance of heart disease for those at risk, U.S. researchers said.
Scientists with the U.S. Department of Agriculture said they found consumers who drank black tea for three weeks experienced a decrease of between 7-11% in their low-density lipoprotein (LDL) -- so-called bad cholesterol.
