Green tea will help you lose weight just like shots of apple cider vinegar (Insert Sarcasm).
This sounds highly unlikely. How does she know it was the tea? Which Hepatitis?
It was acute hepatitis that was resolved soon after she stopped drinking the tea. Here's the article:

The article didn't mention anything about how much she was drinking, and there's a lot of guessing as to the mechanism, but still. Very interesting case. Glad she's doing well.0 -

On the Telegraph website it says 'Doctors say 16 year-old's kidney infection caused by drinking three cups of green tea every day for three months in a bid to lose weight.... They said it was possible that the addition of chemicals to the tea, perhaps to aid weight loss, or the use of pesticides on tea trees had contaminated the infusion....There is potential for pesticide-induced hepatitis to exist, especially from less regulated products ordered from developing countries over the internet.'

Cool. Thanks. That's a lot of green tea. I like green tea, but probably not that much.1 -

^^^This...
If you're not losing weight you are most likely not in the deficit you think you are...

I drink 32 oz of iced green tea every day at work (5 tea bags and 1 ginger). I drink it cuz I like it, it helps me get my water goal without having to drink water. The reason I use so many tea bags is because I like it strong. I've done this for years and haven't noticed any additional weight loss or boost in metabolism. Drink green tea because it taste good and good for it, not because it might boost your metabolism .000000001% (just a made of number, don't quote me on this)
^^^This...
My tea of choice is Red Rooibos. When I make it iced it is amazing! 4 tea bags for me in 32oz of water left out on the deck in the sun for at least 12 hours. I add 1 ounce of agave or honey.2 -

Be careful in these wooish diet ideas. Some time ago I was contacted by the doctor who could not stop his patient bleeding after injecting her with a 24 ga needle (very small needle). After investigating we found that the patient put herself on a green tea regimen and was drinking several cups a day. Green tea contains anti clotting factors and this woman essentially removed her ability to form blood clots.
A friend of mine who works at a hospital here told me a similar story about how one of those ridiculous green tea diets slowed blood clotting in someone who was also taken an oral anticoagulant. It's sad how so many believe that Green tea helps you to lose tons of weight and all those silly diets.
That will depend on the anticoagulant medication, but yes, coumadin is counteracted by Vitamin K.
Side note: my Mom was on coumadin. She also was a farmer's daughter and always had a big garden, even after we kids left and dad died, because she could easily eat nothing but fruits and veggies. She was having some issues and her blood was too thick. Turns out she was eating too many tomatoes each day and had to limit herself to only 1. The vitamin K in tomatoes was messing with her coumadin.2 -

Now you've done it. There are a hundred lurkers out there whose only takeaway from the entire thread (besides all the apple desserts) is going to be Note to self - add turmeric, ACV and hot sauce to green tea to lose weight. (j/k)5 -
Did someone say dessert?

Now this is a much more preferable way to consume green tea0 -
I don't even know why I get involved in these threads. All I get out of them is mind-blowing food porn that triggers me to look up recipes and go on a baking binge.

Fine. But they have to be 500ml cups.
2 cups is 500ml. So that's still 6 cups.
I can math. Metric and imperial.
No deal. Nice try, though!
