so is diet lipton green tea berry still considered as effective as regular green tea?:noway:
diet green tea is good for you but at the same time it has sugar and fructose in it that isn't good for you if you drink so much of it. It's better off to go brewed.0 -
now the question is! anyone tried lipton green tea? is it better than others? or what is the best that helped u?0

Also, just thought I'll throw this out there, Green tea is known to reduce iron and if you have low iron it might not be so good to drink so much but I am not sure on this. It's only a study I read.0

Teas are good in general for various reasons
Green Tea is good and I found it worked for me but it sure makes you pee alot...too much...and I wonder if that is good for the kidneys? maybe its just me
Oolong Tea is supposed to be good for weight loss as well

Question based on this thread: What are the caffeine levels for green tea as I get really shaky and have trouble sleeping with even trace amounts of caffeine? Anyone know?
Green Tea contains a little less than a can of cola viz. 3.1 mg/ fl oz - an American cup measure (8 fl.oz) would be about 25mg. A half US pint of coffee would be just over 100mg. - a half-UK-(Imperial) pint would be about 30mg.*
For comparison, a half-US-pint cup of coffee would be just over 100mg
Far, far worse would be the affect of staining your teeth as the tannin would not be precipitated by milk.
* AN Imperial pint measure is 20 fl.oz. cf. a US pint is, I believe, 16 fl.oz.0 -
I love tea, and there are so many delicious green teas out there!0

A cup of green tea can contain anywhere from 15mg of caffeine to 75 mg of caffeine depending on the brand and brew of the tea.
However you can reduce more than 90% of the caffeine content of ANY tea brew by steeping the tea leaves for about 30-45 seconds, discarding that hot liquid, then using the pre-steeped tea leaves or tea bag to brew your tea. Most of the caffeine content of the tea is absorbed into the water in the first 15-20 seconds.0 -
I'm just learning to drink green tea and add Matcha (green tea powder) to smoothies. I recommend adding peppermint tea to green tea for a flavour change. Peppermint tea also helps with digestion and upset stomach.
I use Matcha in my smoothies as well. I drink unsweetened green tea (iced or hot) frequently throughout the day and it has aided in increasing my metabolism and digestion.0
