"The chances of developing a tumour dropped by around 37 per cent in women under 50 who drank tea at least three times daily.

But older women who drank a similar amount did not see any benefits, according to the study.

Researchers believe the anti-cancer properties of tea may have a more potent effect on the types of tumours that tend to grow in younger women.

A team of US researchers led by Dr Nagi Kumar at the Moffitt Cancer Centre in Tampa, Florida, studied 5,000 women aged between 20 and 74 who had been treated for breast cancer."
