Is Green tea as good for you as everyone says?

You need to drink a fair bit every day (at least 5 cups or so) to really see a benefit.

Take tablets/supplements instead.

I take Multi-vitamins anyway, always have really. I've switched to Green Tea at work now too. Had it for the first time over the weekend and loved the taste.

[Dan]

Green tea supplements/tabs I mean.

[badpiggy]

Isn't green tea supposed to be quite hard on your teeth? Because of the amount of it you have to drink to get any benefit?

[baitman]

multi-vitamins with iron, one a day cod liver oil...

any other basic supplements that people use, without getting too extreme/costly.

[Alex]

Well alot of people swear by Multi Vitamins. But then equally the same amount of people think they are bad.

A balanced diet gives you all you need. But its not always easy to do that in my case. I think ive taken them for about 10 years. I don't really get ill much. I used to get run down all the time when I was younger.

I don't believe in this multi-vitamin ****e. I mean 50 different vitamins, minerals and plants have been extracted and formed into a pill.

I don't think there has been one study to show any real benefits from multivitamins. Can the human body even digest such an amalgamation? The industry is massive and keeps hundreds of thousands employed and doesn't really do any harm, hence the hush hush.

I do however believe in a spoonful of cod liver oil, green tea (don't drink it myself), fruit and veg.
