Any green tea drinkers? Can I drink this much?

[Kallison]

I'm not a coffee/tea drinker but I've been drinking green tea to try and lose weight. It is not diet green tea or anything like that. Just plain green tea. Is it ok to drink 3 cups per day, are there any bad side effects? Excuse me if I sound stupid.........

I quit coffee, except an occasional cup, and switched to green tea 4 yrs ago, no problems. You can also get it in decaf.

Have to admit I haven't had any for agggeees but I went through a real big phase of drinking it all the time (esp Green tea with Citrus!) and I never noticed any side effects so enjoy

Hi Kallison,
I had also wondered the same thing since I drink 5 cups per day. I have done this for many years now. I looked at a website (see below) and basically it sounds like it is very beneficial and there are no harmful side effects. Hope this helps

I sometimes drink green tea all through the day, and switch to decaf in the evening. I love the stuff. I have noticed no bad effects.

Only if you are prone to kidney stones. I was told not to drink too much tea (or any dark beverage)

I am having a coke right now, thogh.
