not sure why you've bolded that, are you making an anal joke?
it is the highest ranked internal medicine journal, not Men's Health, so we should have some confidence the study was configured decently. If there was an issue in false self-reporting, I'd expect people to falsely claim they drank tea when they were pissheads, so it may be that tea-effect is even more pronounced than they found
If I had to speculate without reading the study to see if they adjusted for confounding factors, I'd say the effect of tea was limited and more of the effect was from correlation between tea-drinking and socio-economic status. Wealthy people have better health outcomes, especially with NHS becoming fucked. Tea used to be working class, but costa coffee, starbucks and lad culture is changing that.
