Avatar m tn Green tea and green tea supplements have become very popular in the last few years and have been touted as a panacea for many illnesses. While drinking green tea may be beneficial, there is less evidence to support the use of green tea extract, which is often marketed and used for weight loss. While there is some evidence to support this, there may be some risk. In a Clinical Observation published in The Annals of Internal Medicine (2006; 144: 68-69), Dr.
Avatar n tn The present study was designed to examine whether high doses of green tea has any harmful effect on thyroid physiology. For this purpose green tea extract was administered orally to male albino rats for 30 days at doses of 1.25 g%, 2.5 g% and 5.0 g%, respectively. Similarly, pure catechin was administered at doses of 25, 50 and 100mg/kg body weight which is equivalent to above doses of green tea extract.
Avatar f tn I experimented with a large glass of organic green tea the other day and no reactions, so I guess my doctor was right because green tea will set off an antibody attack in a TH1 person. He says something else in the coffee was making me sick. I take X-FLM for the TH1 dominant (most Hashis are TH1). I'm not sure what my TH2 friends take. Look over my journals. I posted a good article there by Dr. G. about TH1/TH2 dominance.
Avatar f tn I actually heard that green tea is not a great idea. I TTC for 8 months before resorting to IVF and drastically tried to cut down my caffiene intake during that time. I was advised by my acupuncturist to drink black or red tea only and not that much of it. Honestly though I don't think any of this makes a huge difference. I tried everything and nothing worked for me, I am a healthy 31 year old who was eventually diagnosed with 'unexplained infertility'.

Avatar m tn Where do you get the good green tea? at walmart they just have the tea bags...
Avatar n tn green tea is very healthy, but you cannot over do it. maybe a cup every other morning. drinking green tea every single day causes headaches, and what you've been experiencing. cut down to maybe half a cup a day.
Avatar m tn I have read recently that green tea is not good during pregnancy because it blocks folic acid. I am 16 weeks pregnant and have been having a cup every morning. I had no idea about this until now, Should I be concerned about spine bifida?
Avatar f tn Any tea that is decaf is okay. Black tea has the highest caffeine and green tea is middle, while herbal is least. Also, as long as you are drinking a lot of water in addition to caffeine, you are fine. But anything decaf is perfectly fine.
Avatar f tn Green tea is suposed to have wonderful health benefits. But you definitely don't want a tea with caffeine in it. My LLMD said no caffeine with Lyme. Be sure to take Vitamin D and C. Both are necessary for good immune function, which you really need right now.
8691340 tn?1415127741 Is okay if i drink green tea during pregnancy? Just like one cup a day? I really want some...
Avatar f tn There is not much caffeine in green tea, however green tea inhibits absorption of folic acid so its advised to keep it limited during pregnancy
Avatar f tn is it okay to drink green tea ? I'm 10 weeks now but before I found out I was pregnant was drinking it before workouts and I'm not sure if to keep drinking.
Avatar n tn Does anyone know if you can drink green tea during pregnancy! Never even thought about the caffine I been having 1-2 small Styrofoam cups of it a day!
Avatar m tn Switch to green or white tea. Much more balanced with antioxidants and relaxants. Since most people in the world drink a lot of green tea and some a lot of black tea and some in between (India and vicinity) it's unlikely to be harmful. But try to buy organic, and again, green will be better for you. Hard to see how it could deydrate you, first that's hard to do from a medical standpoint, and second, tea is mostly water.
