Is it unhealthy to drink 6 cups a tea a day?

Question

My family is British and my mum drinks tea all day. She has about 6 cups every day. She doesn't put any sugar in it though, just milk. And its just plain black tea- Yorkshire to be exact.

Answer 1

i wouldnt think so,,,,but im not a doctor...my dad drinks tea everyday hot tea with a teaspoon of honey even on hot grueling days....maybe gets sick once every 5 years.

Answer 2

Not this week, it isn't. The way things of this nature change, however, next week it may well be.

Answer 3

I dont think so. My grandmother drank many glasses of Iced tea every day as long as I can remember since I was a little boy. I'm now 40. She passed last year, but lived to a ripe age of 92.  I drink iced tea every other day. I hear tea has anti-oxidants (think this helps removes toxicities from the bodies).  Not sure if or how much that plays a part in longivity.

Additional comments to the lady aboves statement. I haven't called off of sick from work in about 4 years. In the winter times there has been a few times I didn't feel the greatest, but wasn't enough to call off.

Answer 4

6 cups of tea is not harmful to your health.  Especially if you don't add sweetener.  It's very healthy!   6 cups really isn't that much.
