Three cups of tea a day helps stop heart attacks and strokes (unless you're a man)
Women who drink three cups of tea a day may be protecting themselves against heart attacks and strokes.
They are less likely to have plaques - dangerous build-ups of fat and cholesterol - in their arteries, researchers found.
Only around one third of women who drank three or more cups of tea a day had plaques in a neck artery, compared with almost half of those who drank no tea.
However, the French study appeared to show that men who were regular tea-drinkers did not reap the same health benefits.
