Answer 1

Green tea also contains caffine, about a third of the amount in coffee apparently.

There are apparently lots of effects, but most haven't ever been proven. People SAY green tea can help you:

Lose weight,

Raise metabolism,

Increase fat oxidation,

Prevent (and treat) cancer,

Treat some degenrative diseases,

and more

It can also apparently cause nausea and insomnia if you have too much of it.

It's been used in traditional medicine to do everything from treating wounds and curing hangovers to increasing brain power and improving your hearts health.

Remember though that a lot of this is unproven so may not be correct.

Answer 2

there are limits of how much tea you can or should drink.

10 cups a day is a lot ... you probably take too much caffeine .. especially if your green tea comes in little bags instead of the loose stuff ..

i would suggest to take less but better brewed and prepared ... a nice wulong nicely brewed and prepared is wonderful and so is a gyokuru ( sorry if my spelling is wrong)

i have heard that tea can have bad effect on your fluoride count ... please read http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6869820/ and many mroe articles ...

i was like you a few months ago and decided to go slow on my tea ... i came to realise that i appreciate even more now my cuppa then i was before ...
