Since arthritis can be detected in human bones, and since the variation in tea consumption in different areas of the world over different historical periods is well documented (thanks in large part to the tax many countries placed on imported tea), it would be instructive to plot the incidence of arthritis in old cemetery bones against records of tea consumption. England, for example, was a coffee-drinking country until the beginning of the 19th century when colonial control over India became sufficiently stable for tea to be imported in large quantities, so if English bones prior to that time have significantly less incidence of arthritis, that would go some distance to confirming a positive correlation.
