Association of sugar-sweetened, artificially sweetened, and unsweetened tea with all-cause and cause-specific mortality: a prospective cohort study in UK biobank.

ABSTRACT: Although previous observational studies have revealed a significant relationship between tea consumption and reduced mortality risk, the associations of adding sugar or alternative sweeteners to tea with mortality risks are still largely unknown.
