    Green Tea is supposed to help you go to sleep if you drink it before bed. And I heard it gives you energy in the morning. However, I used to drink alot of green tea and it gave me frequent kidney stones. And so I quit drinking it and haven't had a kidney stone since. Maybe it's just me that had that issue, But for the most part it's good for you.

    Drinking green tea is generally considered good for you. In fact you can reasonably drink up to around 10 cups a day. However, because it contains polyphenols, it can cause liver and kidney damage in extremely large quantities. This usually only becomes an issue if you are taking green tea supplements. These contain massive amounts of polyphenols when compared to drinking it from a cup.

    Green tea is a diuretic <makes you pee> which is fine for most people but can be a problem for some. It can also

    be acidic for some and it has caffeine which can bother those who are sensitive. Green tea does make a good drink for most people.

    Natural green tea is 100% healthy, however when you buy green tea at a convenience store, most green tea is full of sugar and natural sweetners which are not natural.

    Only if your pregnant. There's something in green tea that prevents the fetus from absorbing a vial nutrient for nerve growth.

    No, unless you burn your throat when you drink it. Tea is just water with tea leaf particles dissolved into the water. Tea is good it contains anti-oxidants which helps your gut
