Green tea

Green tea helps in burn fat and boosts metabolism,
The recent study reported that
3 – 5 cups of green tea per day can help you burn more than 70 calories per day...

I did'nt know that, though I don't have a weight problem, I've been drinking that much green tea for years.

3-5 cups seems to be quite a lot, no? I suffice on two. I also drink chamomile, and occasionally mint.

i drink hot green tea every morning..........but I only drink one cup a day.....

I agree Haoma, too much caffeine is not good for you!

I also love my herb teas!!!

What are thoughts regarding fluoride levels of green tea?

I've been buying distilled water instead of spring water lately, and discovered fluoride in teas is a factor if one wants to reduce fluoride intake.

Specially if one drinks 6-10 cups daily, as often recommended. I understand the "quality" of tea is a factor in it's fluoride content.

I'm sticking with coffee early in day and green & black tea at evenings at the moment.

i didnt realize there was fluoride in green tea? is there anywhere you can go to look up which teas (brands) have the least/ most fluoride content? or is there another way to find out?

My tea brand of choice is Choice Organic Teas.

I use spring water personally.

I researched and this is just one source I found. As a psychic seeker, fluoride is a concern that I can't ignore.

Some feel that concentrated inorganic minerals in spring water is not benificial.
I'll add a link to that info....

This discussion & link is quite interesting , and challenges the idea that inorganic minerals in spring water is benificial.

Thanks Henri. Nice info. Interesting that the Japanese grown teas have less fluoride than the Chinese, due to soil content.

As per filtered water, remember too that Brita filters and the like do not remove fluoride.
