The new report is a major review of 47 previously published studies and confirms that drinks that contain caffeine – such as tea and coffee – provide real health benefits. In the past it has always been assumed that caffeine was potentially bad for you. Too much probably is – but moderate amounts can do you good.

It recommends people should drink up to 8 cups of tea a day – or 4 cups of coffee – to benefit from lower risk of heart attack and lower cholesterol.
