    Don't give in to the pseudoscience and exaggerated claims.

    There's benefits to green tea but it's not magic and it's not any "better" than other caffeine sources in regards to weight management.

    And as far as health goes, black coffee for example has antioxidants, lowers risk of heart disease, lowers risk of Parkinson's and dementia, and protects from type 2 diabetes and some cancers.

    It has significantly more caffeine than green tea which is both a pro and a con. It raises metabolism much more, it's vastly better at reducing hunger, but it can increase blood pressure and be more addictive. It's also more acidic than tea so if you have stomach issues it would exasperate them.

    There's nothing wrong with drinking either tea or coffee, or both, as long as you don't pour sugar and milk in to them and make sure not to OD on caffeine.

      Green tea in general will be a calmer boost than coffee because the tea contains L-theanine which kind of takes away the jitters and nerved up feeling coffee can give. Powdered Matcha green tea can have high amounts of caffeine, just as much as coffee. Most other green tea will have much less caffeine than coffee. Both are good for you, but yeah skip adding the sugar as this is not so good

        I drink both coffee and green tea. Only downfall is if you aren't used to the subtle amount of increased caffeine, I'd take drinking green tea in high amounts slowly. I learned the hard way I can't drink tea after around 3pm or else I have a hard time sleeping.

        I agree that green tea isn't a miracle worker, but it definitely does have it's added benefits. It's a great detox.

                I drink it all the time, well, I live in tokyo, so it is served all the time, but I love the stuff. I drink it hot in winter, cold in summer.

                My wife buys all kinds of types of green tea.

                  I could send you stuff, but it is all in Japanese, and google translate wont do it justice.

                  I do not see you posting much in the lounge, but PB32 is on a roll, and has me laughing my ass off.

                  Siablo is still on me about what the ***s did to the canaanites and others.

                  nothing has changed.
