    So I hear all these great things lately about the benefits of green tea. What's so great about it? I like drinking it for the taste , but is it really good for you?

    Green tea has been proven to cause cancer in lab rats. Its true, I was there. I'll stick to vodka, thank you.

    Does it detox you? That's what I heard.

    The stuff I've seen generally has about 1/3 the amount of caffiene as a cup of coffee.

    I just read somewhere the other day that it is also good for your hair.

    i drink green tea all the time. i get it from school at lunch. but they don't have regular green tea, their green tea has citrus flavors in it. does that take any of the good things for you out of it?

    Caffine is really bad for you (Judging from what I've read) but Tea has quite a small amount of that, and green tea is my absolute favorite beverage.

    Yes it is! There are lots of studies on it (if you Google Green Tea) saying how it can help prevent cancer, heart attacks, help digestion etc, loads of stuff! Its well worth drinking. I read that 7 cups a day is what gives the main results, but pretty much, drink as much as you can and it'll be doing something for you!

    It is not good for people on blood thinners (me). It has ALOT of vitamin K and will counteract the thinners in a big way.
