    People who drink green tea have a faster metabolic rate and fat oxidation. One of the factors is that green tea has caffeine – an ingredient that can be used for weight loss. Now TOO MUCH intake of caffeine might be bad... There are decaf green tea products, I think.

    Green tea is awesome for your body. However, be sure not to over-do your intake. It has antioxidants which help cleanse your system and can be helpful with weightloss by speeding up your metabolism. It can also help prevent lung, prostate, and breast cancer and boosts your immune system. If you should have any concerns about drinking it, they should only be about the caffeine it contains. If that worries you, drink decaf or lower your intake to 3 cups a day so you dont become dependent/addicted to the caffeine. Other than that, Id have no worries about how much you drink.

    Hi, I am from Japan, and that and water are all we drink. Green Tea is so good for you~!!! Sen-cha, Mugi-cha, Hoji-Cya, Ryoku-Cha are so popular here in Japan. It has so many goodies in it such as anti oxidant.
