It is better to choose coffee over tea to reduce the risk of rheumatoid arthritis

According to the blog post title “Women who consume larger amounts of tea have increased risk of rheumatoid arthritis” from science codex, tea is no good for women. There are lots of study and research done which compare tea and coffee consumption related to rheumatoid arthritis.

"We set out to determine whether tea or coffee consumption, or the method of preparation of the drinks was associated with an increased risk of RA or SLE – it is surprising that we saw such differences in results between tea and coffee drinkers," said Professor Christopher Collins, Assistant Professor of Medicine, Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington, USA. "This does make us wonder what it is in tea, or in the method of preparation of tea that causes the significant increase in risk of developing RA."

While the research and study is still continue on, it will be best to choose coffee over tea to reduce the risk of rheumatoid arthritis. I suppose the risk of rheumatoid arthritis is built up by the consumption of tea every day for a long period of time, it is very difficult to stop drinking tea if you are a tea lover. We can start by changing our drinking flavors from tea to coffee. Instead of having tea every day, try having tea once every two day, then once every three day and so on. It is going to take time to change our drinking habit but still it can be done. We must take the effort of reducing the risk of rheumatoid arthritis, especially for women.
