yes u should never drink that much tea!
Yes of course.
Anything is huge quantities is bad, but 4-6 cups daily just seems to me like a great way to get hydration and antioxydants... doesn't sound too dangerous to me! Asians drink lots of green tea and sure don't seem to have any complications, only benefits.
NO DANGER AT ALL!!!!!!!
Medical research has shown substantial health benefits for people who drink 4 or more cups of green tea every day. According to a review article in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition (April 2006) "recent human studies suggest that green tea may contribute to a reduction in the risk of cardiovascular disease and some forms of cancer". Additional benefits include:
1) decreased blood pressure
2) improved oral health
3) body weight control
4) antibacterial effects
5) antiviral effects
6) protection against solar UV radiation
7) increased bone mineral density
8) anti-fibrotic effects
9) neuroprotective effects.
So, keep enjoying this health promoting activity!
Best wishes.
That is ok, and since you have been doing if for 8 yrs. if it were to have any side effects it would have happened by now. the only side effect I can think of is that it will make you pee more. Drink up Cheers!
