Approximately 40% of the nation’s fluid intake will come from tea; a cup of tea is 99.5% water. It is a common misconception that tea should be avoided as a fluid replacement due to the diuretic action of the caffeine present. As such those who are not caffeine naïve, i.e. regularly ingested caffeine, do not experience an increased urine output or altered conditions of hydration status after consuming caffeinated beverages. Another consideration to take into account when investigating the relationship between caffeine and dieresis is the dose size of caffeine ingested. Where the dose relationship has been systematically investigated it is only at a high dose of 360 mg that a diuretic action is found. A recent systematic review of the accumulated evidence has shown that acute diuretic effects are observed generally in cases where at least 300 mg of caffeine is ingested. This finding suggests that teadoes not have a diuretic effect unless the amount of tea consumed at one sitting contains more than 250-300mg of caffeine, equivalent to between 5 and 6 cups of tea. It is also widely believed that plain water is more hydrating than other sources of fluid. Medical, physiology, nutrition and military texts have long said that water from foods and a range of beverages can all meet fluid needs. The effect of drinking tea on hydration status has been further explored in a study conducted in circumstances where fluid balance of the body is stressed. Nine male and four female members of expeditions based at Mt. Everest base camp at an altitude of 5,345m were subjected to a crossover experimental design study comprising two 24-hour dietary interventions. In the ‘tea’ condition, hot brewed teaformed a major part of fluid intake for 24 hours, whereas in the ‘no-tea’ condition tea was excluded from the diet for 24 hours. Despite similar volumes of fluid being ingested, there were no differences in urine volume or markers of hydration status. The authors of the study concluded by saying that even when tea is drunk at high altitude, where the body is subjected to large losses of water, there is no evidence that tea acts as a diuretic when consumed by regular tea drinkers. In fact, tea can make a useful contribution to the hydration status of the body. Due to the volume of fluid that is drunk whilst enjoying a cup of tea, the Food Standards Agency and the British Dietetic Association both advise thattea can help towards meeting daily fluid requirements. In Summary… About 70% of the UK population drinks teaon a regular basis, drinking on average three cups of teaa day. At this intake teacan make a positive contribution to the body’s hydration status, helping to promote healthand well-being.
