Hi,

I just want everyone to know that Green Tee is not beneficial for people with certain diseases. I have Pulmonary Hypertension and have been told that I can not drink Green Tea. I believe this is due to the various medications that I am taking. So Green Tea is very beneficial but if you have any health problems I would double check.

Ugh! I hate tea...my grandmother made me drink it all the time when I was younger. I need to start drinking it again though....look at the benefits!

[jeansguyokc]

Thanks for sharing. I drink it 3-4 times a day. I like mine iced.

I recently started drinking green tea, and was surprised - it's not that bad!

I actually prefer it to all those other fruit teas, camomile tea, etc...

The benefits are phenomenal - will need to up my cups to 3-4!

And I think you need to take it black (without milk) to get all these benefits!

Yes, I believe your right. Because my heart is enlarged and works much harder and beats faster than a regular heart I can not have any caffeine or stimulants. Fortunately for me I have never liked coffee. I only drink fruit teas like once a week. I'm a water and 2% milk girl !
