Is too much green tea bad for me?

Batgirl asked:
I drink about 4 ish cups of green tea per day (sometimes more sometimes not at all) and I’m 13. I like the taste and it’s become a habit for me to just sip in front of the tv with my glass of green tea. I change the leaves every 2 cups to stop it from having too much caffeine but am I drinking too much and will it do something bad to my health in the long term?

No green tea is actually very good for you . cleans out your system, helps your metabolism, clears up any acne. It can have a strong taste but a little clover honey is good. I like green tea cold.
well green tea is supposed to be good for you so i would probably say no.
4 cups of any type of caffeine is bad for a developing body why not drink a bit of water with a splash of cranberry juice you’ll get the vita c and it’ll help your system wah out the impuirties
Too much of just about anything is bad for you. here in England I read about a well known actor who drank something like 8 litres of water after a theatre performance, and ending up extremely poorly in hospital.
That said, the little I know about green tea is all positive. 4 cups a day in my opinion is not excessive (I’ve drunk 12 cups of coffee a day for fairly long periods). I don’t know about caffeine, but lets face it. Its gotta be better than chuzzling Dr. Pepper or Cola.
Ask again if your sleep is suffering.
no, this doesn’t sound too bad at all. even 4 cups of black tea a day won’t do you much harm. green tea is a very healthy drink (much better than coffee) with lots of useful health-giving properties.
i can’t resist putting this in as well though: if you like a good story (ghost/supernatural), then read Sheridan Le Fanu’s story/novella entitled Green Tea which is a cautionary tale for those who enjoy the drink too much. the story is part of the compilation In a Glass Darkly but may also be available online or in a compilation of short stories.
only if you cannot go to sleep when you want. Be carfull that you remember to also eat. The tea may make you think that you do not need to eat and that is the bad side. Just keep that in mind. Remember to Eat.
Too much of anything is bad. A little of everything is good.
NO ACTUALLY ITS VERY GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH.
