Answer 1

i love tea, mostly green and white. I would drink as much as you can..as long as you can take the caffeeine.... Green tea is one of the most healthiest teas out there. goood luck. Although lately, i've been staying away from the artificial sweeteners since I've read that they're not too good for you. But you could add lemon or milk to your tea.

I would also try different teas so you don't get bored of green. Some that I like are white, and flavored green teas. The only herbal tea i drink is roobios (ROO BIS) tea. This tea has no caffeine but still has the anti-oxidants of regular tea (not sure if it's the same antioxidants but I don't care, it tastes so good).

I'm babbling..good luck with your green tea.

Answer 2

Not sure if there's a magic number of the cups per day for optimal health. Green tea has been around for ages and is very popular in Asia. Just until recently it started becoming a popular beverage in the US. I would drink it as much as you like and can handle. :-) It's a great alternative to coffee because it still provides the caffeine, although not quite as much. You can enjoy it hot or cold. I wouldn't add anything to it, enjoy it natural....but that's just my opinion. Good choice in beverage!

Answer 3

There are as many answers to this question as there are researchers investigating the natural properties of green tea. For example, Herbs for Health magazine cites a Japanese report stating that men who drank ten cups of green tea per day stayed cancer-free for three years longer than men who drank less than three cups a day (there are approximately 240 - 320 mg of polyphenols in three cups of green tea). Meanwhile, a study by Cleveland's Western Reserve University concluded that drinking four or more cups of green tea per day could help prevent rheumatoid arthritis, or reduce symptoms in individuals already suffering from the disease. And Japanese scientists at the Saitama Cancer Research Institute discovered that there were fewer recurrances of breast cancer, and the disease spread less quickly, in women with a history of drinking five cups or more of green tea daily.

It gets more confusing. A University of California study on the cancer-preventative qualities of green tea concluded that you could probably attain the desired level of polyphenols by drinking merely two cups per day. On the other hand, a company selling a green tea capsule formula insists that ten cups per day are necessary to reap the maximum benefits.

How can you make sense of these conflicting claims? Given all the evidence, it is probably safe to plan on drinking four to five cups of green tea per daily. If you're a real devotee, by all means drink more; but whether or not you'll derive added health benefits remains to be determined by further research.
