Pairing tea with meals may blunt acute SBP rises while enhancing endothelial function in CAD; extends fasting tea data to realistic dietary contexts.
Does acute consumption of black tea with or without a high-fat meal alter vascular function and blood pressure in patients with coronary artery disease?
Consumption of food alongside tea may negate the acute increase in systolic blood pressure seen with fasting tea consumption, while enhancing its positive effects on endothelial function.
Hodgson et al. (2005) studied this question.
