Tag: Tea vs cola

According to a 2019 study published in the journal *Circulation*, those who drank two or more sugar-sweetened beverages per day had a significantly higher risk of premature death from cardiovascular disease compared to infrequent drinkers. This stark finding brings into question whether tea is better for you than cola and other sugar-laden soft drinks.

While many assume the caffeine content in cola is a standard and fixed amount, the levels in tea can vary dramatically based on how it's prepared, making the answer to 'Is there more caffeine in tea or cola?' surprisingly nuanced. The average cup of black tea often contains more caffeine than a standard 12-ounce can of cola, though this can be misleading without context.
