    I do have a question about green tea though and I'm hoping I'm not so far down in the post that it will be missed!

    Ladies....have any of you had any side effects from drinking green tea? I have a friend who has gone through menopause...nothing for over a year.. When she drinks green tea, she spots. Has anyone here run into anything like that or know someone who has?

    Many thanks! I love green tea but I drink decaffeinated so no big buzz here! :drinker:

    I don't like green tea itself, but the flavored ones taste good to me. I don't believe it does anything special as far as weight loss, but if it curbs your appetite then sure, that will help.

    Green tea inhibits the absorption of FOLIC ACID.
    So, if you drink it every day, be sure to get a supplement of folic acid.
    This is especially important for all PREGNANT women out there and the ones that are trying to conceive.
