For the past month I have been on a huge herbal tea kick. Mostly hot green tea. I seriously drink about 8 glasses a day. Is this bad for me? And will it do any harm to my teeth, like staining and such?

Toxicologists say that green tea becomes toxic after the 10th cup and fatal after the 16th consecutive cup consumed in one day.

as long as ur not putting sugar or honey(honey is worse on ur teeth) it should be fine. green tea is just an herb and has antioxidants in it. just remember some people live off of 8 glasses of pepsi and a box of twinkies and some how they seem to be ok. tea is good for u. u should still be drinking straight water though. the body has a harder time trying to pull water out of something to absorb it. so yep, drink up ur deliciouse habit! try other kinds of tea as well.

Green tea has some caffeine and tea generally is a bit of a diuretic.
As long as you aren't getting the jitters and are drinking water as well it's probably fine.
I doubt it will stain your teeth.

Make sure to put some milk in it, supposedly too much tea can cause stomach cancer if you don' t use milk to counteract the tannins. I think it can leach calcium out of your body too, not sure. And it may stain your teeth if you don't brush enough. If you find you are getting some side effects, you might want to cut down.

There is a possibility tea can stain your teeth. I heard that it was good to drink alot of green tea a day...it is suppose to help prevent cancer.

Everything too much is not good as it is not balance. Green tea has lots of caffeine but good for your health as well, so a cup a day is good enough for our body.

If you are going to drink 8 glasses of anything it should be water.

over doing anything in excess is bad. I would bring it down to maybe 4 cups and drink plain water also.

yes it will stain your teeth but don't overbrush because it'll remove the enamel on your teeth and cause more serious dental problems
