I drink quite a lot of green and white tea (5+ cups a day). Does anyone know any reason why this might be bad for me? Or is it super healthy?!

Green and white tea are supposed to be really good for you. 5 cups sounds like a lot though. Too much of anything can be bad for you. Try drinking more water.

Yes, it can be harmful to you if you drink too much. Five teabags a day sounds alright.
The United Kingdom Tea Council recommends drinking up to 6 cups a day owing to the caffeine content. Individuals with special conditions should drink even less and take appropriate precautions.
The link below shows why it is harmful to drink too much green tea.
The same appies to white tea too.
I love it!

They both are really good for you, but I can't say how much you can actually have per day since everyone is different with the tea. If you want tea, get the lipton tea bags instead of the bottled stuff since the bottled stuff has a lot of additives that the tea bags don't.

Green tea is very good for you, and i think white tea is too, and i don't think five cups a day is too much either

Green tea has many benefits for your health, it's well documentated that it's one of the best to drink...Not so sure about the white tea though...

Dont worry sarah, drinking at abt 5 cups is okay but definitely not "heavy drinking".
Due to the acidic content in tea (or coffee or soft drinks), sometime it might hurt one's stomach (for those with weak stomach).
Try to drink it right and sure it can help you to maintain a healthy body.
