Chronic diseases are a major burden, creating a global warning in today???s world. Our aim was to study the role and effectiveness of tea (Camellia sinensis) in preventing the burden of chronic diseases, like diabetes, hypertension, thyroid, cancer, PCOS, osteoarthritis, etc. There are a many studies and publications, supporting the statement that tea has a potential effect in reducing the burden of chronic diseases. Only confusion that is bothering the public all around the world, is actually regarding the exact amount of intake of tea and the variants of tea which should be taken on a daily basis to attain all the hidden healthy benefits of the second most commonly consumed drink in the world, which is tea.
