The Beverage Inhibits A Cluster Conditions That Cause Metabolic Syndrome, Scientists Reveal

A recent study conducted by some renowned institutes suggested that regular drinking of green tea may inhibit the early onset of metabolic syndrome.

Metabolic syndrome is a cluster condition associated to increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, including abnormal high blood pressure, high blood sugar and cholesterol together with excess body fat around the waist.

People with 3 of the above medical conditions are considered to have metabolic syndrome.

According to statistic, approximately, 25% of US adult population has metabolic syndrome.

Some researchers suggested that the syndrome is also associated to the condition of obesity as they share a similar component of insulin resistance.

Truly, the syndrome is not caused by a single condition but associated to a collection of risk factors,
including increases with age. race, obesity, diabetes and other diseases (cardiovascular disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease or polycystic ovary syndrome).

According to the joint study lead by the University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine in investigated the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components among U.S. adults, using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007-2014 data suggested, ".... from 2007 to 2014, the prevalence of MetS remained stable in all sex, age, and race/ethnicity groups. Among the components of MetS, the prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia and fasting hyperglycemia decreased". and "The prevalence of elevated blood pressure and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level remained stable"(4).

Further analysis of the data, scientists found that the prevalence of abdominal obesity continues to increase in women, that can have a strong and lifelong impact in the induction of higher risk of metabolic syndrome.


Green tea, a precious drink processes numbers of health benefit known to almost everyone in Asia and Western world.

In a cross-sectional population-based survey including 8,821 adults (51.4% female) conducted in Krakow, Poland., both coffee and tea drinkers showed a negatively associated with MetS (OR 0.75, 95% CI 0.66, 0.86 and OR 0.79, 95% CI 0.67, 0.92, respectively).

The study also found that high tea consumers had lower BMI, waist circumference, but moderated decreased diastolic blood pressure, as well as negatively correlated central obesity and fasting plasma glucose in women, but not in men, in compared low drinker,


Furthermore, in the study including 8821 adults (51.4 % female), using food frequency questionnaires and matching food consumption data with the Phenol-Explorer database.conducted in Kraków, Poland, dietary polyphenol intake, a major compound found in green tea was associated inversely to the development of MetS (OR 0.80; 95 % CI 0.64, 0.98 and OR 0.70; 95 % CI 0.56, 0.86 for both men and women, respectively) in the highest quartile.

Dietary polyphenols in high quality also showed a negative association of WC, blood pressure, high lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides in women, and fasting plasma glucose in both gender..

Dr. Grosso G, the lead author said, "(Depending to types of polyphenols) phenolic acids and stilbenes were significantly associated with MetS; lignans and stilbenes with WC; phenolic acids with blood pressure and triglycerides; and flavonoids with fasting plasma glucose" and " Among specific subclasses of polyphenols, hydroxycinnamic acids, flavanols, and dihydrochalcones had the most relevant role."

In support, the role of a polyphenol for treatment of Metabolic syndrome, a study of a total of 2725 participants free of hypertension at baseline tested for blood pressure or taking hypertensive medication within the last 2 weeks at 2-4-year follow-up visit was conducted by the Integrated Cancer Registry of Catania-Messina-Siracusa-Enna.

The final results showed that diet of highest quartile of total polyphenol intake was associated with 31% decreased the risk of hypertension compared with the lowest intake (OR 0.69, 95% CI 0.48, 0.98) in women with no significant association in men.

The study also stated that most influential phytochemicals in reduced risk and treatment of metabolic syndrome ingredients are phenolic acids, hydroxycynnamic acids as they showed a independently associated to lower odds of hypertension (OR 0.66, 95% CI 0.47, 0.93) in comparison to others.


Taking together, green tea with major chemical compounds of polyphenol may be used as functional foods in inhibited a cluster of conditions which associated to the onset of metabolic syndrome.
