well there is such thing as drinking too much fluids, mainly if you drink too much water it starts to flush your body of vitamins and minerals your body needs. . this happened to my aunt..but you have to drink A LOT . i mean my aunt was drinking 15 + large bottles of water daily. She is lucky she didnt get "water poisoning"

It has a bit of caffeine in it. I think one third the amount that coffee contains.

NOTE: My periods and commas are not working> sorry!
Well there *is* such a thing as Hypernatremia (too much fluid in the system: it starts to "drown" the body and you lose Sodium< Potassium< and other essential nutrients) BUT you have to drink A LOT: and I mean a LOT for that to happen! Since most people do not get even HALF the water consumption they should on a daily basis< I don"t think you are in any danger of something like this happening Green tea is WONDERFUL for you: full of antioxidants it flushes toxins!
People are supposed to be drinking at *least* eight glasses of water A day (those that do not like to drink will tell you that"s a bunch of bull< but it"s the truth) I love water< and am Always thirsty so I drink much more>>and I haven"t died yet
Drink away girl! Especially in the summer months: it"s good for you> You would have to drink so much to be over the line for what is good for you< that your body would probably let you know long before that happened (listen to your body: it WILL tell you what it wants and needs: if you learn to "listen" to what it is "telling" you)!

If you're in the States...Trader Joe's Citrus Green Tea is delicious, iced or hot. Plus, it's pink!

You probably can overdo it (you can overdo anything, even water), but I think it's one of those things that you have to be really determined to overdo.

green tea does contain caffiene, and caffeine is a stimulant and a diuretic. it also contains lots of good stuff, like antioxidants.
drinking lots of it can mean the caffeine affects you (especially if you drink it in the afternoons and evenings) and it would also mean the diuretic effect would be happening (weeeeee!
) the diuretic effect can hinder fluid intake... as iyour body is expelling it again.
like anything, don't overdo it. mix your green tea intake with plain old water (warm or hot water is actually very yummy on it's own in winter!) and maybe mix in a few other herbal teas as well. i love rosehip and hibiscus tea.

Nope.
No such thing as too much green tea.
And depending on your reasons for taking it drinking it alone may not be enough. If it's for weight loss I'd suggest finding a Green Tea supplement with at least 250g per capsule. GNC has one that has 500mg per capsule.
