To much of anything is not good for you. However, it depends on what you consider a lot. Many people drink at least a cup a day and seem to be fine. To make it better for you you would want to try non caffeinated and avoid adding a lot of sweeteners. One negative effect it will have on you however is the staining of your teeth. Rigorous brushing will only do so much to combat this. Also, if you are using any form of tooth whitening the green tea (and any form of tea, coffee, or dark soft drink) can worsen the stains while you are trying to whiten. Green tea can be very beneficial to your health and you should not have any health problems....Show more

I started drinking a lot of tea (all the colors) because it is supposed to be so good for a person. However, I have recently read that there are potential drawbacks to high tea consumption (can't remember what they were or if they were associated with any particual type of tea...hmmm...maybe it was memory problems). Anyway, I don't recall the drawbacks being particularly horrifying. However, it is probably best to stick to moderation in all things and not go too heavy on the tea.

(As a side note, when I read about the tea drawbacks, I decided to switch to water...and I got shingles after about a week. Now, it could be totally unrelated, but I'm rather young for shingles. I'm now back to drinking tea, just less of it.)...Show more

You're not an addict, and drinking a lot of green tea is very common in a lot of Eastern countries. Well, you might be a caffeine addict, but that is a generally safe addiction. The antioxidants in green tea would probably undo any negative effects you get from caffeine content. I don't see any reason why you should worry, really....Show more
