I have heard that tea can dehydrate you. Is this true? And if so, does that apply to green tea as well?:smile:

    I think it has to do with the caffeine, that's what dehydrates, So while I don't count my tea as water for the day, I do only drink decaf green tea (unsweetened of course)

    according to the BBC it's an urban myth: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/5281046.stm
