I'm sure that any amount of green tea is good for you, but is there a certain amount you "should" drink?
I heard a friend say that 3 cups/day is what helps your motabalism? (However it's spelled)
I'm not sure if that is true or not. But what are yalls thoughts on it?

    I read if you drink 4 cups a day it is good for you and helps boost metabolism...

    I've been taking Green tea extract tablets along with 1-2 cups a day, I can definitely recommend as I'm 100% sure its helped me get rid of my stubborn cellulite on my legs that has never ever shifted before now!

    I've read it is 3 cups also.

    I can't stand it unless it is green tea and something, like green tea and pommegranite or jasmine. Too bitter otherwise!

    What about whie tea? It has a hgher concentration of antioxidants and less caffeine.

    I keep reading it's three. I've been doing three and the only thing I've noticed is a slight shift in my hunger patterns - I'm not eating lunch as early. I'm going to up it to four and see if that helps....

    Incidentally I think it's a lot nicer chilled - I'm not a huge fan of it hot, but very cold with fresh lemon it's pretty good and refreshing....
