A daily cup of tea slashes the risk of developing a serious eye condition, research suggests.
People who drink a cup of hot tea at least once a day are 74 per cent less likely to be diagnosed with glaucoma – a severe eye problem which affects 600,000 people in Britain.
But coffee, iced tea and soft drinks don’t seem to make any difference, the researchers found.
The researchers, whose work is published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology, asked 10,000 people in the US about their diet and health, and 1,678 of them also had full eye tests.
