Can a new green tea drinker start off drinking too much?
I am just starting to drink green tea because I keep hearing how healthy it is, which I havent been the past few years. I hear about 5 or 6 cups is the amount for maximum benefits, but that seems to mildly upset my stomache. Does anyone know if starting off drinking too much green tea is bad? Thanks.
Oh, and PLEASE no silly answers.

no it isn’t. plus, it is a good diet thing. you can lose weight if you drink a lot of it.

Green tea can interact with certain medicines. Ask your doctor if you are taking anything besides drinking the tea.
All things in moderation.

Well, any change in diet can upset your stomach. Maybe you should start drinking one cup a day and up it to two, then three, etc, until you build up a tolerance for it. Green tea is really yum and very healthy!

it can upset your stomach if you go from zero to 6 in less then a week. While green teas are good for you, they do have caffeine that your bodymay not handle at this time.
